An 8th round in Furiani but without an audience

This evening, the Sporting Club de Bastia welcomes AS Nancy-Lorraine to the Stade Armand-Cesari for a match in the 8th round of the Coupe de France, at 7:30 p.m.

AS Nancy-Lorraine plays in the National and its leading position in the championship testifies to the solidity of its squad. The Bastiais, victorious over Freyming (4-0) in the previous round, will have to remain focused and united against this opponent.

The match was initially scheduled to be played at Marcel-Picot, but due to work on the pitch at the Nancy stadium, it was ultimately at Furiani that the two teams would face each other. However, after the incidents that occurred during the last home match against Lorient, the Stade Armand-Cesari is placed behind closed doors as a precautionary measure. The Turchini will therefore evolve without the support of their supporters, a situation which takes nothing away from their determination.

For Bastia, the objective is clear: to continue the adventure in the Coupe de France before calmly preparing for the postponed derby in Ajaccio, next Tuesday.

Benoît Tavenot, the coach, is banking on a united team ready to give their best to get through this round.

Sporting, with its experience in the Coupe de France, intends to extend its adventure and continue to shine in this competition. Facing Nancy, the objective will be to stay focused, not to be distracted by the particular conditions of the match. This 8th round is a crucial stage for the Bastiais, who do not want to miss this great opportunity to go further in a prestigious competition.

See you this evening, at 7:30 p.m., on Sporting's social networks to follow the meeting broadcast live by SCB TV and commented by Jean Pruneta!

Challenge, Grow and Fight… FORZA BASTIA!
