While the Girondins de Bordeaux thought they had passed their turn in the Coupe de France, it ultimately seems that it is the opposite.

For several seasons, the Girondins de Bordeaux are no longer the legendary team they once were. The reason: deplorable club management. Management so bad that the club finds itself in National 2 while he had managed to stay in Ligue 2.

Following this relegation, Bordeaux had to play the first rounds of the Coupe de France. For his first match in the competition, the Bordelais faced a D1 team. A meeting where the Bordelais easily won 5-0. A rather funny incident of play occurred with the return during the match of the second goalkeeper, Over Mandanda. However, the goalkeeper entered midfield. Although this change may seem rather unusual, he could ultimately cause the loss of Bordeaux. Indeed, according to the rules of the FFF, it is forbidden to bring in your goalkeeper as an outfield player. The people of Bordeaux could finally be eliminated.

Despite the victory, the elimination

Even if Bordeaux won with a large score, he could finally be eliminated. They are in fact under threat of elimination on the green carpetas reported by Ouest-France. The rule that the Bordeaux residents are breaking is however clear to the FFF.

Article 7.3.1 specifies that “ when a club decides to include the maximum number of players authorized on the match sheet, the registration of a substitute goalkeeper, numbered 16, is mandatory “. The same regulation stipulates in its article 7.1.1 that “ goalkeepers must wear a jersey of a color that clearly distinguishes them from other players and the referee ».
