A school for talent linked to Senegal
The training centre of FC Metz is among the most renowned in France. It has produced many international players, such as Robert Pirès, world champion in 1998, Miralem Pjanić, and Emmanuel Adebayor. Since 2003, the club has been linked to Génération Foot, an academy in Dakar: this partnership, extended until 2030, has led dozens of Senegalese players to wear the grenat jersey, including Sadio Mané, who joined Lorraine in 2011 before becoming one of the best African players of his generation.
The grenat, a rare colour in French football
The home shirt of FC Metz is grenat, a deep red leaning towards burgundy, which is rare in French football and forms the club's identity. The Italian supplier Kappa, recognizable by its Omini logo, a man and a woman sitting back to back, dresses the Grenats. The away and third shirts feature different colours each season, often inspired by the club's history or Lorraine's heritage. To preserve them, they are washed inside out, at thirty degrees and without fabric softener, and dried on a hanger.
