Former Lion Onesime Muepu Continues European Journey with Signing

Grove United is proud to announce that Onesime Muepu has signed with Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 01 (FBBP01), continuing his rise through the European football landscape.

FBBP01 is a French association football team that plays in Ligue 3, Championnat National. 

For Onesime, the move represents another significant step in his development and an opportunity to continue growing within one of European football’s most historic environments.

A Journey That Began at Grove United

After joining Grove United in 2023, at just 18 years old, Onesime quickly became a key figure in the club’s attack. His pace, movement, and ability to create opportunities in the final third helped him establish himself as a consistent offensive threat.

During his time with Grove United, Onesime finished as the club’s leading goal scorer, with performances that helped open the door to opportunities abroad.

Through Grove United’s connections in France, Onesime earned the chance to train and trial with Red Star FC, a Ligue 2 club. The experience provided his first opportunity to immerse himself in the European football environment. His journey then continued with AS Beauvais Oise, where he further developed within the French football system and gained valuable experience competing in a professional setting. He then signed with historic FC Girondins de Bordeaux in the Spring of 2026, advancing his level of play once again. 

Continuing to Build the Grove United Pathway

Onesime’s journey represents the type of player development pathway Grove United is committed to creating. Through a combination of high-level competition, professional coaching, international relationships, and exposure to opportunities abroad, the club continues to help players position themselves for the next level of the game.

Another Proud Moment for Grove United

The entire Grove United family is proud to see Onesime earn this opportunity and continue his football journey in France.

“Seeing One make the next step in his career is an incredible moment for everyone at Grove United. One has always had the talent, determination, and mentality to reach the professional game, and we’re proud to have played a part in his journey,” said Grove United president, Justin Grove, “his story is a testament to the opportunities that can come through hard work and believing in the pathway. We couldn’t be happier for him and can’t wait to watch what he accomplishes next in France.”
