The excitement is at its height around the amateur club Espaly (N3), which is preparing to experience a historic moment by welcoming Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, scheduled for January 15 at 9 p.m. The match will take place at the Marcel-Michelin stadium, the emblematic venue of the ASM Clermont Auvergne rugby club, in a football configuration, and will be played to a sold-out crowd, as reported by L'Equipe. The venues for this long-awaited duel were snapped up in less than an hour after the ticket office opened, and the president of Espaly, Christian Perbet, expressed his satisfaction and demonstrated the enthusiasm of the Auvergne public.
15,000 spectators expected
The stadium, which can accommodate up to 15,000 spectators for a football match, will therefore be full to capacity for this exceptional meeting. Around 3,000 places will be reserved for Parisian supporters, who will travel to support their favorite team. Espaly, who eliminated Dijon (N) during the previous round on his home ground at Viouzou, located in a former quarry, will be the little thumb of this clash. Facing PSG, the undisputed leader of Ligue 1, the amateur club will experience one of the most memorable moments in its history, and Espaly players will have the chance to face a team as prestigious as Paris Saint-Germain.
