The 16-match Coupe de France round between Bergerac Périgord FC (N2) and Olympique Lyonnais (L1) will be played in Bergerac, at the Campréal stadium, as the venue is approved by the French Football Federation.
Since the draw on Monday, January 10, the management of the Dordogne club has been looking for a place to play this gala match, against a great engine of the first division. Depart from the Périgueux stadium, which is under construction. Several stadiums have been proposed to host this 16-year-old circular, scheduled for Friday, January 19 at 8:45 p. m. There is the Jean-Antoine-Moueix stadium in Libourne (6,000 seats, 82 km from Bergerac), the Beaublanc stadium in Limoges (10,000 seats, 150 km from Bergerac) and the Armandie stadium in Agen (14,000 seats, 89 km from Bergerac).
According to our information, SU Agen control has held discussions with the BPFC on this issue. The AUS studied the feasibility of this operation, until the announcement of the dates of the fites through the FFF on Tuesday, January 9. Bergerac – OL will be played, at the request of the channel “Bein Sport”, on Friday, January 19 at 8:45 p. m. , almost at the same time as the Pro D2 rugthrough in Agen-Aurillac (Friday, January 19 at 7:30 p. m. ). The match was scheduled for Sunday or even Saturday night, but Armandie could have made a smooth transition from rugby to football.
“In Agen we were prepared,” said Alain Klajman, deputy mayor for sports of the city of Agen, who was upset by the joint resolution of Bein Sport and the FFF to launch on Friday. The green spaces sector had planned to prepare the Armandie playing field to host two events on the same weekend, ventilating it beforehand. Even on Saturdays. The sports sector was mobilized, as was the AUS through Arnaud Kerjean, as well as the Lot-et-Garonne district. The mayor’s office was very happy to be able to offer this assembly in Agen. Everything was coming together for a wonderful football birthday party.
Therefore, Agen will not host a new Coupe de France since the one between SU Agen Football and PSG on January 22, 2011. The Parisians had won 3-2 against the brave Agenais, who were then playing in CFA 2. As for Bergerac Péripassrd FC, “the big trend would be to move to Libourne,” explained Christophe Fauvel, president of the BPFC, to our colleagues at RMC on Tuesday, January 9. “We already played against Lille five years ago. We have already sent a text message to the Mayor of Libourne to welcome us. ” In the end, it turns out that Libourne’s option has fallen by the wayside. Bergerac has until Wednesday, Jan. 10, to locate the host stadium. The match would be played either in Limoges or in Lyon, at the Groupama stadium. The answer will be communicated later today.
“On dénature l’esprit de la Coupe de France, peste Alain Klajman. Le club, comme la mairie de Bergerac, se réjouissait de venir disputer ce match à Agen, cette belle fête du football populaire à une heure de route. De nombreux supporters dordognots (2000 à 3000) auraient pu venir encourager leur équipe, comme le public lot-et-garonnais qui aurait poussé derrière les Bergeracois. Là, ce sera bien plus compliqué d’aller à Limoges ou à Lyon un vendredi soir. Je défends le développement du sport sur nos territoires, la Coupe de France doit être la meilleure expression de cela. Las, BeIn Sports et quelques personnes dans un bureau de la Fédération en ont décidé autrement. Je suis très remonté, comme mon homologue de Bergerac. Qu’on ne nous vende plus l’image de la Coupe de France, de ses valeurs, etc. Le club de Bergerac n’a même pas été consulté pour ce changement d’horaires.”
