What Thonon Evian Grand Genève FC does

Thonon Evian Grand Genève Football Club (TEGG) is a French semi-professional football club headquartered in Thonon-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie, operating across the cross-border Grand Genève region. The club fields two senior competitive teams: a men's team in National 2 (the fourth tier of French football, formerly National 3 prior to FFF restructuring on July 1, 2026) and a women's team in Seconde Ligue, the second tier of French women's football. TEGG runs a comprehensive player development ecosystem including a youth academy spanning U6 through U20 across multiple competitive tiers, an École de Foot entry-level program, and two formats of training camps (Stage Loisir and Stage Performance). Player support services include on-site nutrition (three cooks led by chef Kévin Frichot), mental preparation coaching (Thomas Perez), physiotherapy, and French language classes for international recruits. Infrastructure comprises Stade Joseph Moynat (matchday stadium) and the Centre d'Entraînement de Blonay (training center).

TEGG generates revenue through four primary streams: matchday ticket sales (via Weezevent platform), merchandise sales (online boutique through Sport 2000 and stadium retail), annual memberships and subscriptions, and sponsorship agreements with regional businesses and government partners. The club operates a community-led GTM motion anchored in local youth development, supplemented by international player recruitment, particularly for the women's team which draws talent from Switzerland, Germany, and the United States. Notable sponsors include Nike (kit supplier), Sport 2000 (retail partner), Nissan Thonon, Allianz Thonon Chablais, Cora Amphion, and municipal and regional government partners (Ville de Thonon-les-Bains, Ville Evian, Conseil Départemental de Haute-Savoie, Région Rhône-Alpes Auvergne). Serge Garcia has served as president since July 2021, having led the women's section since 2006. The club received DNCG budget validation for the 2026-2027 season, confirming its financial standing.
