The passage to the disciplinary committee on December 11 should allow a decision to be made. Remember that in the previous round against AS Nancy-Lorraine (2/0 victory), the match was played without spectators…

It will therefore be one of the little thumbs of the competition, RC Saint-Joseph which will travel to Bastia. The josephins discovered the name of their opponent when they landed on Monday December 2 at Martinique-Aimé Césaire airport.

But we talk about the magic of the cup, it always makes you want to go as far as possible and see if why If you don't look, it's possible to skip the next round.

The technical managers and medical staff will have work to maintain the group at a high level of performance and treat minor injuries.

A small downside with this trip to Corsica, we will undoubtedly have less support from the diaspora public, it would have been good to play in the Paris region but we will go to Corsica to play this match with our values as we have been doing for several months already .

The football league, through its president Georges Duquesnay, wrote to Philippe Diallo, president of the FFF, to request that this match take place in Martinique or, failing that, in the Paris region.
For now, the FFF has officially announced a match in Corsica, it remains to be seen whether the LFM's arguments will be considered by the federation.
