For this first federal round, the Georgeguyonnes could have traveled to Bordeaux, Bayonne or Rodez. Alexis Mathé’s team could also have received La Roche ESOF or Orvault. Finally, the “All Black of Maine” will welcome Limoges, a team which plays at the same level (R1), but in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine League. “It’s a football that we don’t know, comments Pascal Rabaud, one of the co-presidents of the S2GFC. We also do not know what the level of women’s R1 is in New Aquitaine. We just know that Limoges has not won a single match in its championship.” Four defeats, two goals scored, eleven goals conceded. The fact remains that in the 4th round of the Coupe de France, Limougeaudes beat US Jaunay/Marigny (R2): 7-1.
With the uncertainty regarding the balance of power between Loire and neo-Aquitaine women’s football, it is therefore difficult to establish a hierarchy. However, Pascal Rabaud is certain of one thing. “As we are going to receive, it is an affordable draw. » And remember: “Qualifying for the first federal round was our goal. The Federation will send us a set of Coupe de France jerseys. The girls are happy. On our WhatsApp group, they all gave a thumbs up! » Especially since in the event of qualification for the second federal round (December 15, 2024), the Georgeguyonnes could play against Châteauroux or Orvault, two R1 teams.
Another Vendée club is qualified for the first federal round, which will take place on the 24th. La Roche ESOF (D3) will be opposed to FC Girondins de Bordeaux (R1). The match will take place in Gironde, where the Bordelaises are particularly effective on their pitch this season. In the championship, they notably beat Montmorillon (13-0) and Anglet (12-0). Undefeated in R1, where they play with Limoges, the Girondines are 5th with a game in hand. To find the Ornaysiennes in the Coupe de France, they eliminated Pau (0-7).
