The LFRD delegation left January 10-13, 2023 to participate in the Mekong Games. They join teams from French high schools in: Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jakarta and Singapore.

The teams are composed of 12 students: 2 girls and 2 boys from 5ème, 2 girls and 2 boys from 4ème, 2 girls and 2 boys from 3ème.

We are happy to be able to participate again in this competition which was organised by the LFRD in its first edition!

This multi-sport competition will offer students the following events

But also: referee training or photojournalism and cultural visits.

After an intense and emotional week, the LFRD garudas did not disappoint. They had some great moments: the basketball finals where they shone, great performances in acrosport and an anthology ultimate match.
Congratulations!
Thanks to their coaches Sebastien Buisson and Benjamin Coignoux.
