The Nocéens stadium has not been approved in terms of security by the French Football Federation for the 8th round of the Coupe de France. The meeting will therefore take place in Valenciennes this Saturday, November 30, at the Stade du Hainaut, at a time which has yet to be defined. The VAFC has already communicated on its pricing policy for the match: 5 euros per place in the Nungesser stand, 15 euros in the presidential stand and access will be free for subscribers.
On the side of Neuilly, resident of National 3, anger and disgust prevail. “ We received a notification from the FFF at 3:47 p.m. telling us that we had to find a place to fall back before 5:30 p.m. otherwise we would have to travel to Valenciennes.“, President Frédéric Mallefond explained to Le Parisien. “ How to find a place of refuge in less than two hours? I am disgusted and even angry. It's a lack of respect. I won't go to Valenciennes but the players will go there. We had imagined a party for all our licensees, now it is clearly ruined. »
