Brice Georges Attila Cognard (born 26 April 1990) is a footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Châteauroux. Born in metropolitan France, he represents the Guadeloupe national team.
Club career
Cognard started playing football at the age of six, joining the academy of amateur side Saint-Brice. He progressed through the academies of Entente SSG and Racing Club before making his senior debut for Saint-Denis. He returned to Saint-Brice before spending a season with Poissy, though he made no appearances for the club in the Championnat de France Amateur 2.
He spent two full seasons at Saint-Ouen-L'Aumône, before returning to Poissy in 2017. After three seasons at the club, he joined Championnat National side Avranches in 2020. He signed a one-year contract extension in June 2022.
In July 2023, he moved to Châteauroux.
International career
Cognard represented France at the 2017 Summer Universiade in Tapei, where he led France to the final before being beaten by Japan. Cognard was highly regarded by French media for his performance at the tournament, saving two penalties in the quarter-final penalty shoot-out against Argentina, before scoring one himself. He repeated this same feat in the semi-final against Uruguay, as France won 5–4 on penalties.
Though he was born in Paris, Cognard's mother is from Guadeloupe, making him eligible to represent the island. He was called up to the Guadeloupe football team for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, having already made three appearances for the team in the 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League B.
