Negotiations had been going on for a while. It's now official. US Monnaie will play its 8th round of the French Football Cup, against Lorient, at the Georges Boulogne stadium in AmboiseSaturday, November 30, at 1:30 p.m. It is therefore option number 2 which is retained.
The Regional 1 club, qualified for the first time in its history at this stage of the competition, would have preferred the Cher Valley, in Tours, to attract even more people. But Tours FC, still in the running, hosts the Bretons of OC Cesson (N3) at home. And it was impossible to organize two matches on the same field in one weekend. The TFC announced on its social networks that its 8th round would also be held on November 30. But no timetable has yet been set.
