From now on, there will also be this 5th round of the Coupe de France.

Because there, draw on Monday for match on Saturday, it is very complicated in terms of organization. »

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…”
