ASM announced this Wednesday that the Football match between the Espaly club (Auvergne) and Paris Saint-Germain will be played at the Marcel-Michelin stadium. The Clermont club has given its agreement to lend its den.
The Marcel-Michelin stadium will be the scene of something other than a Rugby match! The ASM Clermont den will host a French Cup football match on January 15 between the Espaly club and Paris Saint-Germain. Given that the Nationale 3 resident cannot host the prestigious meeting in its own stadium, several solutions have been targeted. The Clermont rugby club has given its agreement and the match will therefore be played at Michelin.

This is not a first
The venue won over the Auvergnats with its capacity (19,000 spectators). Many supporters are therefore expected. This is not the first time that the Michelin has hosted a Coupe de France football match. A meeting between Issoire and Bordeaux was played there in 2001. ASM will return to its field three days later, during a reception of Bristol in the Champions Cup.
