Scheduled for Friday, July 24, the final of the Coupe de France between Paris Saint-Germain and AS Saint-Etienne could be played in front of a very limited audience. A scenario that Noël Le Graët wants to avoid.
It’s confirmed, the final of the Coupe de France will take place on Friday, July 24. The French Football Federation, which organizes the competition, therefore has only a few weeks left to increase the tonnage of 5,000 spectators currently authorized. ” It is certain with the public! For the moment, it’s 5,000 spectators. I asked for a larger number, said President Noël Le Graët to the Parisian. 25,000 or 50,000 can happen if the Covid-19 does not make us miserable in the coming days. I hope that on July 10, we will have a positive result. »
Beyond the show which would necessarily be better with a larger audience, the manager knows that this gauge to 5,000 people would limit the number of places allocated to the two finalists. ” If we stay at 5,000 spectators, it will be very complicated, recognized the Breton. We will make sure that PSG and Saint-Etienne get some tickets. It will be necessary to make a correct distribution rather than trade which is not very interesting. With 25,000 spectators, it’s different. This redistribution will then be applied in the usual way. »
“Do not complain”
Because filling the third of the Stade de France would be enough for Le Graët’s happiness, convinced that this final scheduled for a Friday evening will not attract so many people to Saint-Denis. ” Our partner who broadcasts the finals wanted the meetings to take place on Friday evening. Do not complain. There will not be 80,000 people, assured the boss of the FFF. If the number of spectators is increased to 25,000, Stéphanois will be able to move. They who have been waiting for this great moment for several months.
