Team

It is the main team of the Vall d'Aran, especially after the disappearance of Vielha Club de Fùtbol (from Vielha). They play in the Departmental 2 – the 10th division of France. They also play in the French Cup, the most important competition of the season, in fact they could even reach the final, but usually they do not pass the second or third round. They have never played against a team in the professional division.

One of the main differences between the club is the diversity of languages spoken in the Bossòst dressing room – Aranese, Spanish, Catalan – while only French is spoken in the rival teams.

It also plays the Copa de Comminges, a tournament played by clubs from the divisions of the Comminges region, where U.E. Bossòst has been playing since the twenties. Bossòst has won this trophy on two occasions, the last time was in 2007.

Why UE Bossòst plays in France

In the first years of the team, they could not cross to the other side of the valley because of the snow, for this reason the football team of the Aran Valley plays in France. In fact, until they built the Vielha tunnel, they could not cross into Catalan territory during the winter.
