Coupe de France: for their entry into the running in the 5th round, Red Star and Versailles must be wary

2023-10-14 14:16:46

There are still 4 rounds to go for the amateur clubs before dreaming of being able to face an L1 team in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France on January 5, 6 and 7. This weekend takes place the 5th round which marks the entry into the running of the National clubs. In the Paris-Ile-de-France League, 44 clubs are on deck to secure their place for the 6th round, synonymous with the regional final, the draw for which will be made next Tuesday.

Braked Wednesday evening in Nancy (1-1) after 7 successes in a row during a post-match marked by monkey cries launched by a spectator from Lorraine, the Red Star, who are prances at the head of the National, will try to avoid the trap match on Sunday (3 p.m.) at Neauphle Pontchartrain (R2) for its entry into the competition. The Yvelines team occupies the bottom of the table in Group B with a draw and 2 defeats in its first 3 matches.

FC Versailles, 8th place in the National Championship, travels this Sunday (2:30 p.m.) to Saint-Cloud for its entry into the running. In 2022, the Yvelines club, then in N2 (4th division), reached the semi-finals of the competition (beaten 2-0 by Nice). ES Linas-Montlhéry, which has reached the 32nd finals three times in the last four editions, will have a perilous trip to AC Houilles (R1) coached by former international defender Mickaël Ciani. Among the posters for this 5th round, Racing CFF, leader of its group in N2, goes to Sainte-Geneviève which has well digested its relegation to N3 by occupying 2nd place in its group.
