International Cup 2014

The CNFA has announced the squad which will arrive in Melbourne later this year to compete at the 2014 Australian Football International Cup.

The list of 28, plus 5 emergencies, was released on the CNFA blog this week, along with an official announcement video. The list is very fresh, with 23 of the 28 selected in the main squad being new to the IC stage.

Alban Schieber, Yoann Alliot-Marty, Emilien Martinez and Grégoire Patacq are the only four France-based veterans returning to the squad from their 2011 campaign, although they will be joined by Pierre-Jacques Labigang from Melbourne local club Parkside, who also appears in his second IC. Thibault Picard from South Australian club the Lock Kangaroos makes a second Australian-based squad member.

Casting their net to French expats playing elsewhere in the world, Clément Coste, Kévin Barranco and Thomas Core (emergency) have been selected from the Montreal metro league in Québec, as well as Jean Rosado from the Fort Lauderdale Fighting Squids in Florida, USA. Pierre-Etienne Dandaleix joins the squad from the Bristol Dockers in England.
