According to Sud Ouest, the meeting of the eighth round of the French Cup which will pit the Girondins de Bordeaux against Herbiers, in a duel between teams from the same Nationa 2 group, will not take place at Matmut Atlantique but at the Pierre-Paul Bernard stadium of Talence, probably on December 1st.
The regional daily cites cost, security and organizational reasons to explain the relocation. It remains to be seen whether we are heading towards a closed session or whether supporters will be allowed for this meeting which should once again be broadcast by the regional antenna of France 3.
During the seventh round, the Girondins de Bordeaux qualified on the pitch of FC Bressuire with a score of 0-2, thanks to goals from N'Famadi Diaby and Safouane Karim while Les Herbiers won 2-1 against at AC Ajaccio after a stunning scenario.
