Bordeaux is well and truly qualified for the Coupe de France despite Seudre-Océan’s reserve

While the Girondins had seriously qualified for the fifth round of the Coupe de France by beating the Seudre Océan club (D1) with a score of 0-5, the latter had lodged a complaint concerning the entry ofOver Mandanda in midfield, while No. 16 is dedicated only to a goalkeeper.

Only, Bruno Irles had done what was necessary by asking the delegate if this entry of the Bordeaux goalkeeper into the field was in compliance with the regulations, something which had been confirmed to him before his entry into play.

“Considering that it is the referee who has control over substitutions and that a replacement is only possible with his agreement and that if Seudre Océan considered that the entry of Over Mandanda was contrary to the aforementioned regulations, it was then up to him to formulate technical reservations on this subject, at the time when the referee authorized the entry into play of this player.clarified the disputes and regulations committee of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Football League.

Thus, the club’s request was deemed inadmissible in form.

The Girondins de Bordeaux therefore have an appointment with the 5th round of the competition, and the draw will take place this Monday, October 7.
