It’s official, the final of the Coupe de France, which will pit Rumilly-Vallières or Monaco against PSG or Montpellier, will be played in a Stade de France behind closed doors. Indeed, as announced by our colleagues from RMC Sport, the French football federation has not succeeded in obtaining an exemption allowing spectators to leave despite the curfew.
Curfew which will go from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the night of May 19 to 20. Whatever, with a kick-off of the final at 9.15 p.m., it is impossible for the public not to find themselves illegally leaving the stadium, not to mention that the match can end even later in the event of extra time and shoot to the net.
