Union Saint-Jean – Monaco in the Coupe de : “We are here, with incredible popular success”, the positive pressure from the USJFC 48 hours before the clash

the essential
By remaining themselves since the day of the draw against Monaco, the USJFC fans are preparing their 32nd final of the Coupe de with rigor, on the field and behind the scenes. The party promises to be great on Sunday at the Stadium.

Everywhere in L’Union, Saint-Jean, but also in the suburbs, the same poster already gives the shivers. We see the USJFC players grouped together, huddled together to encourage each other, perhaps exchanging the secret that will allow them to bring down the current 3rd in Ligue 1, a regular resident of the Champions League. Since this draw on December 2 which awarded it AS Monaco, the club dear to presidents Sudriez and Nadalin is 100% focused on the event that constitutes this 32nd final of the Coupe de France.

The players live with this emotional shock that they did not expect. You should have seen the meditation on Tuesday evening during the mental preparation session which was held in a clubhouse neutralized for the occasion. The USJFC players are riding the euphoria of a historic qualification against , 3 levels apart, remember. But the two defeats in the championship, at Revel, then against , remind us of the need for optimal concentration to avoid a severe loss against the Monegasque professionals. But when we count in our ranks a certain Mathias Capdeville, current top scorer in the French Cup with 10 goals!

“It’s a great life lesson”

At the USJFC, and more generally in the two cities of L’Union and Saint-Jean brought together since the merger of the two clubs in 2018, everyone is looking at the upcoming event with amazed eyes. This is the magic of the Coupe de France… “even if Monaco is not really France”, we hear here and there. All the more reason to eliminate these princes of the Rock on Sunday in the den of a Stadium which should flirt with 20,000 spectators (see read in box). “It’s a great life lesson, to see that when we are faced with adversity, we are there, with the addition of an absolutely incredible popular success,” underlines Marc Péré, lucky mayor of L’Union, who kicked off against Versailles. He and his counterpart mayor of Saint-Jean, Bruno Espic, will of course be at the Stadium in 48 hours.

Regardless of the result of this USJFC-ASM on Sunday, at around 4:30 p.m. (later if the locals won the penalty shootout), the club from the Toulouse suburbs sees this event as a very legitimate financial boon. For a USJFC with a tight budget of just over €400,000, which is not drowning in public subsidies even though it benefits from magnificent municipal facilities built thanks to the former mayor of L’Union, Georges Beney , the spinoffs in sponsors and partners should be very real. “We are not going to change size even if we carry out a good commercial operation,” says a member of the USJCF office, who could benefit from this 32nd final to the tune of €300,000, the fruits of the large crowd expected on Sunday at the Stadium.

fans who like surprises and panache should come to the Stadium in large numbers on Sunday. If 18,000 places had been reserved or sold last night, it’s a safe bet that there will be more than 20,000 in 48 hours to push the USJFC towards the feat. Tickets will be on sale at the Stadium ticket offices. With “popular” prices as desired by the club’s managers, but also the TFC which managed the ticketing, in a “cup” spirit where the idea is to fill the Stadium as much as possible. The call prices are €10, thousands of places at this price having been sold. Ticket office, but also refreshment bar, catering and, above all, infrastructure, pitch and locker room: the TFC, strong partner of the USJFC, did not hesitate for a single second to help Petit Poucet of the Coupe de France, who would have made hands and feet to play at the Stadium, “in a real football stadium” rejoice the players, and not in a Toulouse stadium reserved for rugby.
