Finding a stadium can sometimes be very complicated. However, the magic of the Coupe de France always ends up working to find a solution. On Saturday, November 30 at 1:30 p.m., US Bolbec, a club playing in Regional 1, will host Caen, a resident of Ligue 2, for the 8th round of the Coupe de France. For this important meeting, the club's president, Kévin Beaufils, had to find a category T3 stadium, necessary to accommodate a Ligue 2 team. However, according to Actu.fr, Le Havre refused to lend its Océane stadium due to too tight a schedule. Furthermore, the opponent Caen asked them for 84,000 euros, according to Paris Normandie, in the event of a reversal of the match at the Michel-D'Ornano stadium. A sum too high for this amateur club. But after intensive research, the Bolbécien club finally found a solution.
A new stadium to achieve the feat
But this time, it seems to have happened. The meeting between US Bolbec and Caen should take place on Saturday November 30 at 1:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Pavilly stadium (Seine-Maritime), near Rouen. According to the president of the amateur club, Kévin Beaufils, “we preferred Pavilly, because they lend it to us for free, that helps,” he told Actu.fr. The manager therefore sent his request to the Federation this Wednesday. The ticket office will open as soon as the field is made official by the federation.
To summarize
Finding a stadium can sometimes be very complicated. However, the magic of the Coupe de France always ends up working to find a solution. On Saturday, November 30 at 1:30 p.m., US Bolbec, a club playing in Regional 1, will host Caen, a resident of Ligue 2, for the 8th round of the Coupe de France.
