About Lavictoire and Yvan Delia-Lavictoire

Football has been a passion for as long as I've known. I still love this game so much, but here’s the truth:

Growing up, I never thought I’d be working in football.

I didn't study sports management and my football knowledge was limited to what I had experienced, watched and read. I enjoyed playing, but never saw it as a future career. Plus, there weren't any scouts or recruiters at my games.

I knew one thing and one thing only: This game was everything.

As I got older, I realized that I wanted to turn that passion into something bigger, something that would bring meaning to my life.

So I took action and started a blog about football culture. I enjoyed writing, but wasn't really a writer. I was just very into sharing my passion with others.

I didn’t know at the time, but getting started on this blog was going to unlock an amazing journey in the football industry. 

To this day, it is still my biggest achievement. It helped me build reputation, discover new stories, get hired, collaborate on projects I’d only dream of, launch my own consulting agency, support others and make new connections from all corners of the world.

Now, I want to help more people unlock their story with football. I am thrilled to share my experience and expertise with a new generation of football friends like you.

This is why Lavictoire exists.
