"When I arrived in Longueuil, I discovered a quality living environment, extraordinary people and an economic fabric with great potential. The challenges facing our city are important, but we have everything to succeed, everything to shine among the best. As a parent and Longueuillois involved for years with the Longueuil Soccer Club, I am very proud that my son, Zorhan Bassong, now a CF Montreal player, was initially trained and spotted in Longueuil. This allowed him to continue his training in Europe. And that is a very personal success story that illustrates how much Longueuil has to offer the world. "- Christian Bassong
