The door is open to all the clubs that would like to share their history, so we may appreciate them better today.<\/p>\n<p>Embourg, just like Seraing, wrote the best pages of volleyball in our province. Why talk about it today?<\/p>\n<p>Simply because one of the actors of that fantastic odyssey we are going to relive here moved to Canada 13 years ago, at the end of the Beautiful Story. His name: FUFU, a.k.a. Marc Furn\u00e9mont, the brother of the other fufu, the one who is making us suffer in the local press (not for long, unfortunately). FUFU arrived at the volleyball club in 76, when St. Bar relocated to Embourg and changed its name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Odyssey<\/strong><br \/>\nIn their 2nd season, 1977, Embourg are champions of Provincial 2 Division and climb to P1.<\/p>\n<p>In 78, they finish 2nd behind the great team of Valcapri\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In 79, Embourg are Provincial Champions and runners-up in the Provincial Cup. They climb to National 4.<\/p>\n<p>In 80, Embourg finish second in N4 with players like Fox, Pairiot, Praillet, Gonze, Lejeune et Peters.<\/p>\n<p>In 81, they are champions of the same N4 and again runners-up of the Provincial Cup with Vanspauwen, Bruwier and Gras, three other great names of Li\u00e8ge volleyball, and move up to N3.<\/p>\n<p>In 82, the great Embourg team finishes 5th in N3. This the last season for Ren\u00e9 Pairiot as coach, before the arrival of Robert Devries (father of Anne Devries, the tennis player) and of Roger Schoonbroodt, a very talented player from Welkenraedt. This is also the season when FUFU leaves for Canada\u2026<\/p>\n<p>His departure does not derail the formidable climb of his team, champions of N3 in 83, finally winners of the Provincial Cup, and who rocket to N1 after purchasing the franchise rights of Seraing, the other volleyball giant.<\/p>\n<p>This is when Hanozet is playing in Embourg \u2026 as an attacker. Pierre Derbaix, is at centre, and Jean-Pierre Colin is there as well \u2026 along with many others who are less remembered, mainly because they did not pursue their career as volleyball players or coaches. St\u00e9phane Lejeune stands out here as one of the best attackers we have seen, but who had to choose between volleyball and his studies.<\/p>\n<p>In 85, the club folds for lack of funding, and it is the end of the Beautiful Story.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the club has a different outlook, money is secondary, and the emphasis is with young players of both genders.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Quelques ann\u00e9es plus tard, et en partie gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la gestion de ses \u00ab\u00a0nouveaux\u00a0\u00bb dirigeants, Embourg Volleyball retente l&rsquo;aventure \u00e0 plus haut niveau, avec la cr\u00e9ation de plusieurs \u00e9quipes (tr\u00e8s) festives et comp\u00e9titrices.<\/p>\n<p>Pour les nostalgiques des ann\u00e9es 2000:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/embourg-tilff.skyrock.com\/1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cliquez ici pour acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la page Skyrock de ces ann\u00e9es l\u00e0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/triplettesetvb.skyrock.com\/1.html\">Cliquez ici pour acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la page Skyrock des Triplettes 2006-2015<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Les jeunes joueurs qui se forment au club, quelques transferts et une fusion avec le club de Tilff permettront la mont\u00e9e jusqu&rsquo;en Nationale 2, o\u00f9 le club restera quelques saisons avant de devoir abandonner suite au co\u00fbt d&rsquo;une \u00e9quipe \u00e0 ce niveau.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pour les membres plus r\u00e9cents, notre page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/embourgvolleyball\/\">facebook<\/a> et notre page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embourg_vball\/\">instagram<\/a>\u00a0reprennent des photos de ces quelques derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es et nos derni\u00e8res actualit\u00e9s!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pour la saison 2025-2026, le club d&rsquo;Embourg Volleyball propose 6 \u00e9quipes adultes inscrites en comp\u00e9tition officielle: une Promotion messieurs, deux P2 messieurs, une P3 messieurs, une P2 dames et une P4 dames (2 P4 dames depuis janvier 2026).
