For the 7th round of the Coupe de France, the players from Mayotte traveled to France to face the team from Crépy-en-Valois. Objective: beat the opponent and qualify for the 8th round of the competition.
The kick-off is on! Coming specially to France, the Black Devils of Combani (Mayotte) face US Crépy-en-Valois this Saturday, November 16 for the 7th round of the Coupe de France. This meeting can be followed live on Overseas 1st.
On paper, the bill is affordable for the Mahorais: Combani is at the top of the regional 1 ranking while Crépy is in regional 3. But nothing is decided. The Black Devils must do without seven of their best players, unable to travel to France because they are in an irregular situation. The club therefore mobilized its youth to replace them, including four young people in U17.
“Here in mainland France, it plays on the offensive and defensive transition, so we worked on everything that is collective“, explains Chaquir IbrahimCombani’s coach. To support them in avoiding mistakes, the Mahorean football league has provided the team with a regional 1 coach.
