Yesterday morning, the players made contact with the facility where the match will be played. Unfortunately, we were unable to train there due to lack of authorization.
The players therefore returned to the Redoute stadium to fine-tune the final settings.
On the Reunion side, this match is also of great importance. During the reception at the town hall, the representatives told us that for the local team, this match represented the equivalent of a World Cup.
relates Philippe Deniaud, the secretary. Saint-Denis will be able to count on a large audience. There are always a crazy crowd and a lot of fervor; the atmosphere will be incredible

The Vertavians, for their part, will have the support of five managers or relatives of the club who made the trip and rented a house on the island for ten days.
The day was also dedicated to the presentation of official jerseys; the Vertavians will play in blue.
Remember that the winner will qualify for the 32es final with the entry into the running of league 1 clubs (Paris, Marseille, Monaco, etc.).
