Stade de Reims tour of Indonesia 1956


Stade de Reims toured Indonesia at the invitation of Chung Hwa Tsing Nien Hui, a Chinese youth association entering a football team in the Djakarta league which celebrated its 10th anniversary. One week before their first match against Persidja, the French club had lost the first ever final of the European Champions' Cup 3-4 to Real Madrid, after having taken an early 2-0 lead. They were also winners of the 1953 Latin Cup and runners-up (also against Real Madrid) in the 1955 edition of that tournament.
Originally Stade had considered playing additional matches on the way back in South Vietnam, Ceylon or Bangkok, but due to the inclusion of the final "revenge" match against the Indonesian side on July 7 this did not happen and the team returned straight to France without playing any further matches on their tour.

NB: both PSSI sides (on June 23 and July 7) were the Indonesian national team; the second match
    had been made possible after the definitive withdrawal of Formosa from their Olympic 1956
    qualifying matches against Indonesia (fixtured for July 8 and 22); the PSSI B side which played
    the guests in Padang was a reserve side.  Persidja, Persib and PSMS were local city federations.

(*) Tionghoa, the reigning club champions of Surabaja, had been strengthened with some players
    from other Surabaja clubs and two from Persidja.

       the 11 goals of Stade to Kopa (2), Glovacki (3), Flamion (2), Templin (3) and Davanne.

           sense as Giraudo did not make the trip; the Nieuwsgier had Davanne instead of
           Penverne and omitted the subsitution of the goalkeeper.
