Finally deprived of the trip to Reunion Island, the Philibertins will welcome Pau, currently 11th in Ligue 2, on November 30. It remains to be seen where the match will be played.

Saint-Philbert will host Pau (L2) in the 8th round of the Coupe de France. | PRESS PHOTO OCEAN – ARNAULT CANTREAU
The players of Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu (N3), winners last Saturday of Thouars (R1) at 7e round of the Coupe de France, initially believed that they would play their 8e tour in the Indian Ocean, on the island of Reunion. Las. A complaint from USSA Vertou, accepted by the federation, indirectly deprives them of this happiness.
Instead, US Saint-Philbert will host Pau, currently 11e of Ligue 2! A very nice poster, which some would undoubtedly have preferred a little later in the competition while several regional level teams are still in the running.
Where will the match be played?
The Phillibertines will therefore meet a team from the elite lobby for the second year in a row. Last season, they narrowly lost (1-2) already in the 8the tour in a packed Marcel-Saupin stadium against Laval (L2), the club which then took out FC Nantes in 16es of final.
It remains to be seen where the match will be played on Saturday November 30. In Saint-Philbert or again in Nantes, to benefit from a larger stadium, capable of welcoming more yellow and black supporters?
