From now on, there will also be this 5th round of the Coupe de France. The draw, Monday evening, offered the Girondins (N2) to the Bassenais (Regional 2), who achieved another nice run after the 6th round of last season (defeat against Angoulême, N2, 0-5) and the rise last spring in the championship. “We have a team made up of 50% players from Bassens, who played in the youth teams, sometimes left elsewhere to play higher up and came back. Most of the workforce is from the right bank,” presents President Cédric Borie, who is obviously delighted. “Everyone is happy, even though I said I preferred to play them in the next round. Because there, draw on Monday for match on Saturday, it is very complicated in terms of organization. »
The mayor in charge of the file
The mayor of Bassens Alexandre Rubio, in conjunction with the prefecture and the Metropolis, took matters into his own hands to try to find a stadium that would meet the president’s dearest wish: “to make a big celebration of Girondin football. Our football is currently suffering, with the demotions of the Girondins, Niort, Libourne, the problems in the Aquitaine League. We’re fed up. I would like to bring everyone together: our supporters, the Ultramarines, the North Gate…”
Located within sight of Bassens, the Matmut Atlantique is unavailable this weekend. The fallback solutions are always the same: the Sainte-Germaine stadium in Bouscat and the Moueix stadium in Libourne. “We will do everything to find a solution so that there is an audience. Otherwise, we will unfortunately play behind closed doors in Bassens. But we will have tried…”
