While Prime Minister Jean Castex announced the establishment of a gauge of 5,000 spectators in the stadiums from Monday, January 3, RC Lens asked Losc, his future opponent in the Coupe de France, and the French Federation de football (FFF) to advance to the round of 16 from Tuesday 4 to Sunday 2 January.

Fourteen Coupe de France matches are already scheduled for Sunday January 2 and only the Vannes OC-PSG and Lens-Losc matches are affected by the establishment of a gauge. RC Lens would like to benefit from the support of its public for the derby: “This approach aims to allow clubs to benefit from an equitable implementation of government decisions, through similar conditions for the organization of meetings. […] Fiercely attached to the values ​​of the event as well as to popular and accessible football for all, the Racing Club de Lens ardently defends a collective program “. Le Losc, who scheduled their resumption of training for December 30, refused this request, as Olivier Létang explained to L’Equipe: “It is impossible for us to bring this meeting forward to January 2. We have planned and organized the preparation and the return of the players and staff for a match on January 4, as was initially planned and scheduled.”
