Florian Genton is a French sports journalist born on November 5, 1981, in Paris. Genton is the younger brother of Benjamin Genton, a former professional player at Le Havre AC and now part of the staff at FC Lorient, and cousin of the Cheyrou brothers (Bruno and Benoît). They grew up in the town of Jouy-en-Josas in Yvelines and began playing football at FC Versailles 78. The least talented of the three, he focused on his studies. After completing an Economic and Social Sciences baccalaureate, he entered Studec, which allowed him to do internships, including one in September 2001 at RMC Info. When Genton joined RMC in September 2001, it was initially for a two-month internship. The internship was extended until May 2002, at which point the sports director of RMC, François Pesenti, offered him a temporary contract for the summer. In September 2002, he was given a permanent contract and became a full-fledged journalist, officially starting his journalism career. On RMC Info, he alternated between hosting shows, reporting, and commentating. Specializing in football, he covered UEFA Euro 2004 and the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
