A few hours before taking off from Martinique Aimé-Césaire airport, RC Saint-Joseph is awaiting confirmation of the name of its opponent for the 8th round of the French Football Cup. Match scheduled, remember, Saturday November 30.
While everything is settled regarding accommodation and training in Clairefontaine from November 26 to 28, complaints currently being studied could cause the draw to be modified.
As expected, following the decision rendered by the Federal Commission for Regulations and Litigation of the FFF in the dispute of the 7th round of the Coupe de France and giving the victory of the match to USSA Vertou to the detriment of Etoile Maritime FC. The latter club appealed.
The R2 club qualified for the 8th round of the Coupe de France after eliminating USSA Vertou (National 3) on penalties on November 17. However, this qualification was canceled by the FFF due to a licensing issue. The appeal from Etoile Maritime FC is being examined and the decision will be rendered this Monday, November 25 during the afternoon.
If FC Maritime wins its case. We will return to the starting point with a trip from RC Saint-Joseph to Pau, a Ligue 2 club. US Saint Philbert from Grand Lieu will travel to Reunion.
On the side of RC Saint-Joseph, we are awaiting the decision of the Federal Commission for Regulations and Litigation of the FFF to know the club's opponent on 8e tour.
The Josephins will be at the airport at 4 p.m. and could know their final destination, La Roche-sur-Yon or Pau, shortly before taking off for Paris.
