“Més que un club”: A Philosophy Extended to Montpellier
FC Barcelona’s motto, “Més que un club” (More than a club), encapsulates its influence across various sports sections in the city, including football, handball, basketball, water polo, futsal, and rink hockey. drawing inspiration from this, Olivier Nicollin highlighted the group’s involvement in Montpellier’s sporting landscape during a press conference with the Lebrun brothers.
This vision,initiated years ago,is now realized through a sponsorship agreement with table tennis players Alexis and Félix Lebrun,the latest additions to the list.
Beyond MHSC: A diverse Sporting Portfolio
Life extends beyond MHSC, which is fortunate considering the football club’s position. On Saturday, March 29, the MHSC VB volleyball team will compete in the Coupe de France final against Tourcoing, seeking a long-awaited trophy. This success follows the club’s integration into the Nicollin fold in 2021.
Expansion of Financial Partnerships
The head of the company admitted: Since four, five years, we decided as a group to strengthen our partnerships in sports. That’s why we also support the Barracudas (baseball), the Vipers (ice hockey), Montpellier Basket Mosson or the MHSC esport. accessorily, we are also partner of the Fise (extreme sports festival) and the Open Occitanie (tennis). I see a continuity in our commitment to Montpellier.
A question arises: Could the financial difficulties experienced by the Nicollin family in maintaining MHSC’s budget negatively impact these investments? Currently, there is no indication of this, as everything seems minor compared to football.
The Unconquered Territories
rugby (MHR) and handball (MHB),remain outside MHSC’s sphere,under the control of presidents Mohed Altrad and Julien Deljarry. The idea of total control over the city’s professional clubs remains a dream, as sovereignty comes at a high price.
