The “old lady” still thrills fans. The old lady is the nickname given to the French Football Cup, the fourth round of which takes place this weekend. More than twenty clubs in Moselle and the Pays Haut are still up for the adventure.
A new and joyful third half in Distroff?
Among them, the little Moselle thumb, distroff, which plays in the Third District Division, is the equivalent of the 11th Division. This Sunday, at 5.30 p.m., the proteges of President Mathieu Kopéra face Nilvangewhich plays one level above.
The meeting will take place in Illange, because the lawn of the Distroff stadium has suffered a lot from the drought. In the previous round, JS Distroff managed the feat of leaving Marange, a Regional 3 club. The third half that followed is still in everyone’s memory.
Merlebach wants to shine like before
This fourth all of the Coupe de France is also the occasion of an enticing derby in Moselle Est. Only a few kilometers separate these 2 cities: Merlebach challenge at 3 p.m., Hombourg-Haut.
Faced with the Spartans who managed the feat of eliminating AJ Auxerre in 2019, the merlebachois club will try to honor its glorious history.
Created almost a century ago, the Merlebach Olympic Stadium, which now plays in Regional 3, has won several cups and Lorraine championships in the past.
