The Philibertine leaders, whose enclosure is not approved to host a Ligue 2 team, now know what to expect. Their flag team, disappointed not to go and play in Reunion as was initially planned due to the (accepted) reserve of USSA Vertou against Étoile Maritime, will finally play at the Jean Leveillé stadium in Challans. Gala meeting against Pau FC (11e of L2) scheduled for Saturday November 30, 2024 at 2:30 p.m.
Patrice Gautier: “Saupin, we were refused”
It’s less far than going to Carquefou,”
concedes Patrice Gautier, co-president of the Pays de Retz club. Marcel-Saupin (2,000 places) in Nantes? We inquired but were refused. So, we set our sights on Challans, located around thirty kilometers away. The capacity of the stadium is greater (2,700 seats) and we benefit from refreshment bars. This gives us additional revenue, which is significant. We thank the Vendée leaders and the Town Hall who immediately accepted our request.
And to conclude, optimistically: Supporters will be able to participate in the event. From now on, all you have to do is go to 32es final!
