Christian Andriantseheno, alias Racle, one of the very best pétanque players in the world, turns the page on Bron and commits to Vaulx-en-Velin from the 2026 season. The announcement, made by the club, confirms the recruitment of an absolute big name intended to carry the ambitions of a project in full swing. His track record speaks for itself: World Champion, World Vice-Champion, French Vice-Champion, winner of the Petanque Masters, the French Club Cup and the European Club Cup. So many titles that make him one of the most respected — and most feared — figures on the international circuit. For Vaulx-en-Velin, which has been methodically structuring its squad for several seasons, the arrival of Racle constitutes a masterful blow. On the Bron side, the departure of the Malagasy leaves a void that is difficult to fill. Racle will have left an indelible mark, both through his performances and his professionalism.
