These matches will be played on the weekend of October 29 and 30. Last year, Saint Apollinaire was eliminated in the 7th round, beaten by the DFCO 3 goals to 0 in a match called “the Neighbors Day”. The DFCO had lost in the 32nd final, taken out on penalties by Cannes.
The return of the “Neighbours’ Day” in the 8th round?
The 8th round could offer us a nice derby: “In each group, the winner of match 1 will meet the winner of match 2 in the 8th round, and so on. specifies the French Football Federation, in other words if Dijon and Saint Apollinaire both qualify, they will meet face to face the next round. “In this case, this time, we hope to receive them on our ground” smiles Pierre-Yves Doudoux.
