we know where the US Phillibertine will welcome Quevilly Rouen in the 32nd round

The Philibertins will face the Normans at the Jean-Léveillé stadium in Challans on Sunday December 22, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. The Vendée lair had already been the scene of the exploit of Baptiste Casanova's players in the 8th round against Pau (L2).

What was a strong guess on Monday after the draw is now a certainty. As in 8^e French Cup round against Pau (L2, 1-1, 4-1 tab), the US Philibertine, qualified for the first time in its history for the 32^es final of the competition, will welcome Quevilly Rouen (National 1) to the Jean-Léveillé stadium in Challans.

A situation that “suits” coach Baptiste Casanova

While the Mickaël Landreau stadium in Saint-Philbert is not approved for a meeting of this level, this situation of withdrawal agrees to coach Baptiste Casanova and his players who will therefore have some benchmarks to try to achieve a new feat and try to reach the round of 16. In addition, the USPF will be able to benefit from the facilities already in place to increase revenue via the bar or catering, which is not negligible for an amateur club and which is impossible to do at the Marcel-Saupin stadium, the another venue expected to host the debates.

As a reminder, since Tuesday the date and time of this meeting had already been set by the Federation, so this historic meeting will take place on Sunday December 22 at 5:30 p.m.
