An exceptional event, exceptional device. A few days before FC Versailles’ historic match in the Coupe de France, the municipality decided to broadcast the duel once morest Bergerac on a giant screen. The device is scheduled on the market square, in the historic Notre-Dame district, with a reception from 6 p.m., half an hour before the kick-off of the meeting.
In the previous round, the amateur club of Versailles had achieved the feat of qualifying on the lawn of Toulouse FC, yet leader of Ligue 2. This time, the team trained by Youssef Chibhi will have to get out of a very different trap. At the head of her National 2 championship (the equivalent of the 4th Division), she faces an opponent who follows the same trajectory. Bergerac also occupies the chair of leader of his group of N2, and has the particularity of not having conceded any goal this season during his campaign in the Coupe de France.
For the record, the royal city, which likes to recall that 28,000 of its 80,000 inhabitants are members of a sports club, will host several events at the next Paris 2024 Olympic Games. If it’s official for horse riding (show jumping , dressage, eventing) and modern pentathlon, marathon and road cycling race might also pass through Versailles and in front of the castle, but nothing has been finalized yet.
