After a narrow victory on penalties against Dijon (National), on the cold evening of Friday December 20, the FC Espaly players, their managers, supporters and volunteers trembled again two days later, on Sunday evening, during the draw for the 16th final. “It was even more stressful than the end of the match at Viouzou,” confided Lionel Vaillant, from the Bar du Rocher, the Espaviots' rallying point on the evenings of the Coupe de France draw.
And as after their victory, the Rouge et Noir jumped for joy in front of the TV when the news broke: Wednesday January 15, at 9 p.m., live on BeIN Sports 1FC Espaly (N3) will face the best in France, with a shock against Paris Saint-Germain (L1). “We couldn’t dream of better,” reacted Christian Perbet on Sunday. With a little over three weeks to organize this meeting, the president of the Espaviot club will have his work cut out for him. And the question of where this meeting will be played is already on everyone's minds. Currently, several scenarios are being studied.
In Viouzou, in Espaly??
The Parisian stars of PSG will not have the chance to discover the Spanish career. And for good reason, Viouzou is not approved to accommodate this type of stable. The stadium is not equipped to accommodate the numerous Parisian supporters in conditions of optimal safety and comfort.
