Artylio Nadé powers ESTAC to historic double success in breakthrough season

Teenage striker Artylio Nadé has enjoyed a remarkable 2025/26 season, playing a decisive role in a historic campaign for ESTAC Troyes as both the first team and reserve side secured silverware.

At just 19, the forward—who holds Beninese and Ivorian nationality—has emerged as one of the standout young players in the club’s system, combining consistent performances with impressive attacking output across multiple competitions.

The season proved to be a defining one for Nadé, who contributed to ESTAC’s promotion to Ligue 1 after the first team won the Ligue 2 BKT title.

At the same time, he played a key role in the reserve team’s success, helping them secure the National 3 Group E championship.

His influence across both squads has highlighted the strength of ESTAC’s development structure, with Nadé among the clearest examples of the club’s youth pathway producing first-team-ready talent.

Statistically, the forward delivered a highly productive campaign. In National 3, he made 23 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists. He also featured for the U19 side, adding two goals in three matches.

Across all competitions, his overall record stands at 27 appearances, 16 goals and five assists, underlining his consistency in front of goal.

One of his key contributions came during the 24th matchday of the National 3 season, when he found the net in the 64th minute during a 5-0 victory over Mulhouse.

That result confirmed the reserve team’s promotion to National 2, completing another milestone in the club’s successful year.

Nadé’s performances have not gone unnoticed within the club hierarchy, with the youngster already receiving two call-ups to the senior squad this season.

Coaches have been encouraged by his ability to influence matches, with his goal contributions coming at an impressive rate of one every 120 minutes.

As ESTAC prepare for life back in Ligue 1, Nadé’s rapid development is expected to remain one of the key talking points of the club’s long-term planning.
