Team autremonde, the football team that fights against social exclusion, presents its book !

Team autremonde is an atypical football team, which every week brings together migrants and people in precarious situations around a common passion. Its values are to be discovered through this book whose preface was written by the professional footballer and world champion Presnel Kimpembé.

Mixing photos, graphics and written portraits, the book plunges us into the heart of this team like no other and introduces us to 12 players with incredible careers.

Kara, the Scrabble captain; Modou, the discreet rock; Ibrahima, the dreamy music lover; Kheirreddine, the transi lover or Ibrahim, the passionate survivor. But also Ossama, Ismaïla, Sami, Moussa, Yassine, Abdourahamane and Etienne who all tell us about their unique trajectory, their difficulties, their dreams and what association football brings them.

Their stories take us to Senegal, Guinea-Conakry, Algeria, Mauritania, makeshift camps in Italy and Spain, and as far as Paris and its suburbs, where they all now live and play every week, at the Pershing stadium in Vincennes and on the pitch at La Courneuve.

Page after page, in a tone that is meant to be joyful and accessible to all, a real message of hope, integration and humanism is offered to us.

The stories reported by journalists Romain Herreros and Paul Guyonnet are highlighted by the eye of photographer Alys Thomas and the graphic work of the Gilbert-Wilson studio. They highlight the personality of all the players and the team spirit that inhabits them.

Made up of 92 pages, with a thick cover and printed in France on quality paper in a large 24 x 31 cm format, the book was made possible thanks to a very successful Ulule campaign and the donations of more than 250 contributors for a total amount close to 10,000€ !

A beautiful object for a good cause ! All the profits are donated to the association in charge of the associative project, autremonde (a non-profit association under the 1901 law that acts against indifference and exclusion. Established in the north-west of Paris for more than 25 years, autremonde's main mission is to renew and maintain the link with people in precarious situations, isolation and migration).
