After ensuring its qualification, against Issoire on Saturday evening (0-4), Le Puy Foot is now awaiting its opponent in the 7th and 8th round of the Coupe de France. A draw which could take Stéphane Dief's team more than 15,000 kilometers from its bases, in Tahiti.
The seventh round of the Coupe de France is a moment awaited with great impatience, the entry into contention of Ligue 2 clubs being the dream of many amateur teams. If this is also the case for Le Puy Foot which will be attentive to the draw, Wednesday October 30, the club of president Christophe Gauthier will also be interested in the draw of Overseas posters, Tuesday, at 4:30 p.m.
Around twenty candidate clubs
Indeed, the Ponot club volunteered to play its seventh round in Tahiti. He would face the AS Dragon team, winner of the 2024 Polynesian Cup. But the competition will be tough to make a trip partly supported by the FFF (French Football Federation). Around twenty clubs have offered to fly more than 15,000 kilometers from mainland France. Stéphane Dief's men will therefore need a little success.
But if the draw does not favor Ciel et Blanc, the chances of playing in the Overseas Territories will not be reduced to zero. Indeed, the eighth round will see two mainland clubs fly to Guyana and Reunion. Tuesday evening's draw will define an order of priorities between the voluntary clubs.
