The championship may be over, the FFF and the LFP have still not given up on the finals of the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue.
In all likelihood, the PSG-OL and PSG-ASSE matches should be played at the end of July or during the month of August, obviously behind closed doors. For French football, it is all the more important to play these matches because in the event of victory, Lyon and Saint-Etienne would win a place in the Europa League. But if the information obtained by Le Quotidien du Foot, which only evokes the final of the Coupe de France between Saint-Etienne and Paris SG, is to be believed, the match has almost no chance of being disputed within the confines of the Stade de France.
There are two reasons for this. The first concerns the cost of renting the Saint-Denis enclosure, which amounts to almost 1.5 ME. The other argument that pushes the organizers of the competition to relocate the final away from the Stade de France is obviously the geographic and health situation of the Parisian precinct, which is in the heart of a “red zone” and therefore classified as high risk in the event of a second wave of the pandemic. Obviously, a decision should therefore be taken in order to relocate the final in a green area and in a smaller stadium, the rental of which would be much less expensive.
