The Parisian player is back on the international circuit after long months of injury that kept him away from competition. He will therefore make his return to competition at the FIP Bronze Jersey next week alongside a partner with whom he has already won several titles.

Julien Seurin, trusted partner

For his return to competition, Man has chosen to partner with Julien Seurin; the two men have already experienced some great adventures together on the FIP circuit. These include several titles, often thousands of kilometers from France: in Australia or Japan, for example.

French Team Objective

Manuel was present at the French national team training camp last weekend in Perpignan, an opportunity for him to once again face the best French players without even having resumed competition. The French national team, which will most certainly be one of Manuel Vives' main objectives in the coming months, was included in the selection for the 2024 World Cup and will try to consolidate his place on the left wing where several spots are up for grabs.

Seeded 8 in Jersey

Julien and Manuel are lucky enough to be in the top eight pairs of this FIP Bronze on the island of Jersey, which will take place from August 4 to 10, a positioning that will allow them to gradually gain momentum in the tournament but above all to find their rhythm. Particularly for Manuel Vives, who has not competed in an international competition since November 23, 2024, i.e. 8 months, it was in the Mexico Major qualifiers.
