ASSE: The supporters consider the gauge of 5000 spectators insufficient
Initially planned behind closed doors, the final of the Coupe de France between ASSE and PSG will now be played in front of 5,000 spectators at most. To date, this is the number of people authorized by the government due to the COVID-19 epidemic. However, it is possible that this number will increase by then, depending on the evolution of the health situation in France. Meanwhile, the Union des Supporters Stéphanois (USS) estimates that the 5,000-person tonnage is insignificant at a Stade de France, with a capacity of 81,000. ” It’s completely insufficient, of course “, Told the president of the ASSE Fans Union to Progress.
USS hopes more spectators for final
Considering the thousands of supporters of the two finalist clubs and the many guests of the French Football Federation (FFF), Jean-Guy Riou estimate that ” it would be a headache for AS Saint-Étienne and Paris Saint-Germain, but also for the Federation which is used to inviting many amateur clubs ” Still, the USS official “hopes this gauge will evolve” in a month. Seventeenth in Ligue 1 last season, ASSE is keen to save its season by winning the Coupe de France, synonymous with qualification for the Europa League in 2020-2021.
