The stadium problems will have decidedly disrupted the first National season of Paris 13 Atletico, which will go down to National 2. At present, the club from the 13th arrondissement has not yet found any available land to receive Nancy next week. on the 30th day. This Thursday evening, according to our information, Paris 13 Atletico was even considering, purely and simply, to forfeit…
This unprecedented situation would be the consequence of several decisions. Initially, the Federation had rejected the Boutroux stadium, the future Pelé stadium, for security reasons, because of the expected massive presence of Nancy supporters. The match had therefore been scheduled for Thursday, April 20 at the Charléty stadium.
But this Wednesday, the prefecture of Meurthe-et-Moselle, faced with “the organization of demonstrations in downtown Nancy on the days of Thursday 13 and Friday 14 April mobilizing a large number of police forces”, decided to postpone the Nancy – Red Star to Monday, April 17. Under these conditions, Nancy refused to play three days later at Paris 13 Atletico.
The Charléty stadium being occupied by Paris FC – Nîmes in L2 on April 22, a postponement of Paris 13 Atletico – Nancy to Monday April 24 is not possible either. Nancy indeed has another late match to play on April 25 in Saint-Brieuc.
A call to the town hall of Paris
A collateral victim of this FFF programming, Paris 13 Atletico has therefore considered fallback solutions as the club had done against Le Mans (match relocated to Bondoufle) and against Dunkirk (conversely supporters in the stands) last week in Bouroux. But the Robert Bobin stadium in Boudoufle is under construction and contacted approved stadiums were not available.
There are therefore not many other solutions unless the town hall of Paris takes up the case and gives a boost to Paris 13 Atletico. The Jean-Bouin stadium for the rugby players of the Stade Français where Versailles is playing this season is indeed available on Friday 21 April. But the Paris 13 cannot assume the rental price alone.
