🏈 French Division 3 – American Football
📍 By Adam, New York Sports 99
This Saturday evening, the Amiens Spartiates B team will take the field for the final game of their 2025 regular season, facing off against the formidable Lions de Carvin in front of their home crowd. While the game may not carry direct playoff implications for the home team, it still holds significance for the players, coaches, and fans of this evolving squad.
Playoffs Out of Reach, But Not the Purpose
The Spartiates B team has fought hard all season, but their playoff hopes have dimmed. The top spot in the standings is already mathematically out of reach, and while second place remains theoretically possible, it would require not only a win against Carvin but also a favorable result in the Lions’ next matchup — against last-placed Poppy’s d’Albert.
In short, the playoffs seem unlikely, but that’s not a source of disappointment for Amiens. From the start of the season, the objective has been player development over competition.
Even if the team did manage to sneak into the postseason, promotion to Division 2 would only be possible if the A-team also advanced to Division 1 — a long shot. The real aim of this B squad is to act as a development platform for rising talent between the junior ranks and the senior D2-level team.
A Game for Growth and Grit
Despite the standings, this final home game represents a chance for the Spartiates to finish strong — and perhaps upset one of the group’s top contenders. The Lions de Carvin arrive in good form, but a focused and motivated Amiens team could make things difficult, especially with the energy of the home crowd behind them.
The coaching staff will use this match not only to assess individual progress but also to strengthen team cohesion. For many young players, this game is more than a finale — it’s a milestone in their athletic journey.
Eyes on the Future
Regardless of the result, the message remains clear: this season was about growth, not glory. The Spartiates B have fulfilled their role as a proving ground for future stars, and Saturday night will be a celebration of that mission.
Fans are encouraged to come out and support the team one last time this year — not just for the scoreboard, but for the spirit of the sport, the promise of youth, and the identity of Amiens football.
