French Cup: PSG refuses to lend the Park to Versailles

The leaders of Versailles have until Monday to communicate a stadium to the French Federation for their semi-final of the Coupe de France on March 2 once morest Nice (L1). After talking with Paris SG in recent hours, they learned bad news. They will not be able to play at the Parc des Princes as they hoped. But it is not for financial reasons. “It is not possible for reasons of lawn which require a particular maintenance, confides Jean-Luc Arribart, general manager of Versailles. We fully respect their decision. We understand perfectly. »

Direction Charlety

Clearly, PSG, which will play a series of matches in March at the Parc des Princes, including that of the women’s team once morest Bayern, did not want its pitch to be used too much during this period. The National 2 club must therefore find a plan B. “We are disappointed because it was the dream of all the players and the staff to play at the Parc des Princes to play in the semi-final of the Coupe de France, continues Arribart. We don’t know yet where we will play. We will study all the hypotheses. »

The Stade de France seeming financially inaccessible, Versailles should logically turn to the Charléty stadium (Paris XIII) where Paris FC plays. But following the incidents during PFC – Lyon on December 17, the security constraints should be drastic. A derogation to play at the Stade Duvauchelle in Créteil was not an option that initially suited the Versailles leaders.
