Romain Féret announces that Norman championship reforms won't be reopened before 2028, while praising the success of the R1 match streaming platform.
Romain Féret, a major figure in Norman football, provided the awaited clarification regarding the timeline for regional reforms. According to him, the Norman championship file will not be reopened before 2028. This announcement puts an end to speculation about a possible short-term adjustment to the current format.
This decision is based on a positive assessment. The strong results from the R1 match streaming platform have highlighted the concrete commitment of various partners. This system, which allows viewers to watch matches live, has found its audience and demonstrates the vitality of football at the regional level.
Beyond the technical tool, it is the entire ecosystem that is being strengthened. Clubs, volunteers, and local governing bodies are working in a constructive dynamic. The success of this platform is seen as a sign of good health for Norman football as a whole, and justifies not disrupting existing structures.
By postponing any reform until 2028, the leaders are choosing stability. This period will allow for consolidating achievements, more precisely assessing needs, and calmly preparing for potential changes. Field operators will thus be able to focus on their priorities: training, refereeing, and developing the sport.
This clarification offers valuable visibility for the seasons ahead. Norman football can continue to move forward on solid foundations, with a clear calendar and projects that have consensus. What remains is confirming this momentum over the long term, building on everyone's commitment.
