“For the moment, we have not authorized it and I think that there will not be enough time behind for it to be able to resume …” This little sentence released this Wednesday March 17 by the Minister for Sports Roxana Maracineau came to ratify or almost what the girls of C’Chartres Football had a presentiment of. The Coupe de France is over.
The R1 team led by Geoffrey Gauvin, the last of Eure-et-Loir to compete, should not play again in the event this season. Its course will therefore stop before a 4th round, the final regional stage, facing Tours FC.
The return of the Coupe de France divides in the clubs of Eure-et-Loir
Very frustrating, even if the Chartraines, with a super young squad and full of promise for the future, did not dream of lifting the trophy. “Just like the boys, we lack the land. We would have gone back there to play this Cup ”, proclaims Maëlle Marais, No. 10 of the CCF.
Very unfair too, whereas the male version had been relaunched at the end of January after lobbying by the French Football Federation …
Maëlle Marais, C’Chartres Football player, confides:
“There is nothing to say, the facts speak for themselves. I do not understand how the authorities were able to have the audacity to make the boys take over without giving any explanations or even talking about the girls. If that is not an inequality! I find that very limited, zero! “

Her teammates share the same anger. Within a CCF where women’s practice is rightly considered, with dedicated staff and managers, the players are not the only ones to deplore a lack of consideration.
Jérôme Popot, head of the women’s sector at CCF, observes:
“Even if mentalities are changing, we are very far from equality. We always sacrifice the same. It shows that the fight is not won and that it is far from won! “

The Chartraines will not go as far as activism like the players of the CPB Rennes who recently made the buzz by dropping the shorts to protest against the disparities in the endowments offered, inequalities and sexism. However, there is a desire to make their dismay understood. “We know that behind all this there is also a financial aspect. But it is confusing. I even told my grandmother about it! », Slips Maëlle Marais.
Changing mentalities, getting things done on their own scale: this is also the watchword of CCF leaders. “We fight on a daily basis, proclaims Jérôme Popot). Here, the girls know they are supported. The disappointment for them, at the moment, is mainly to train in a vacuum. Because what they love is the ball! »He does not always do them very well …
Léa Le Garrec “united”
The only female D1 player with Sparnonienne Fanny Pereira (Issy-les-Moulineaux), Drouaise Léa Le Garrec (Fleuy 91) recognizes her chance to be able to play matches even if the context is sometimes heavy. And the former international sympathizes with all those that we deprived of the Coupe de France. “I am united! But with the deterioration of the health context, I also understand. The Federation takes its responsibilities according to the decisions of the government. You have to respect that. Today is certainly too late. But it would have been necessary to relaunch this Coupe de France at the same time as that of the boys. Again, there were disparities. It’s like the women’s D2. Why is she at a standstill? The clubs are able to set up and respect the same protocols as we have in D1. “
