On behalf of the round of 16 of the new national French Cup, the Villeurbanne club was to welcome HBC Nantes to its famous hall of Grattes Ciels. The meeting was canceled at the last minute due to the impassable terrain.
You might think it was a bad joke, but not at all. The meeting which was to oppose Villeurbanne to Nantes tonight was canceled a few minutes before the official kick-off by the referees due to the state of the field which was not able to accommodate a meeting of this level. Thanks to photos published on the X network by media present in the room, we can see that the prosecution encountered some small problems following the detachment of a sponsor marking on the ground which left a very sticky ground at the level of the floor. location of the sponsor’s logo. Despite several cleanings, the floor was still too sticky. The referees took the decision not to kick off. The public came in large numbers, the match sold out, expressed their dissatisfaction.
Not sure that this episode made the Nantes players and staff laugh, who traveled for nothing 3 days before the Trophée des Champions in Cesson once morest Paris!
