Faced with rumors that send the French Cup final early August betweenASSE and PSG in Châteauroux, Toulouse, Caen, Guingamp or Amiens, the management of the Stade de France responds sure France Blue Saint-Etienne Loire not be aware of a change.
“We still very recently exchanged with the Federation. The FFF has an annual contract with the Stade de France. Normally the Federation has an obligation to play at the Stade de France. We were not told about the possibility of going elsewhere. Afterwards, in view of health constraints, we will not oppose it. But it is not a question of price. “
“It won’t cost more to play the final of the Coupe de France at the Stade de France than at Châteauroux.” – The management of the Stade de France
“The French Football Federation has an annual rent (around one million euros) for four matches it has already played. It will not cost more to play the final at the Stade de France than at Châteauroux where it will have to pay the stadium rental in addition to the running costs. In camera, it’s between 50,000 and 70,000 euros. “
The problem is thattoday the Paris region is classified as a red zone. It cannot therefore host an event of this order. Hence the interest in having a fallback plan for the organizers of the final. But, by August, things can still change. In this regard, a meeting between ASSE, PSG and the FFF is also scheduled for early June.
