Scheduled for January 7, the 32nd Coupe de France final between Hyres and OM does not yet have a stadium to host the match. Var club president Mourad Boudjellal had a big rant on Wednesday.
Boudjellal is looking for a stadium for Hyres-OM
Will the 32nd Coupe de France final be played between Hyres and Olympique de Marseille? According to the schedule unveiled this Wednesday by the French Football Federation, the match is scheduled for Saturday 7 January at 15:30. Problem, no stadium has been found yet to stage the match.
Boudjellal wanted to play Toulon
On Wednesday, the president of the National 2 club, Mourad Boudjellal, launched a big rant against the authorities who banned the match from being held at the Mayol stadium in Toulon. However, the Var leader does not want to give up and asks that this match be played at the Var or, in the worst case, at the Stade Vlodrome in Marseille. We wanted to organize this football festival in the Var or at the Vlodrome. Because it would be a football party for our players. Otherwise we will give up he launched in the remarks transmitted by RMC.
The state would refuse to organize this match at the Mayol stadium due to the rivalry between SC Toulon and OM in the 80s. A decision incomprehensible to Boudjellal. There is no reason not to organize the Var football festival in the city of Toulon and at the Mayol stadium. Finally there is one and it’s a couple of thugs. They cannot lay down the law and deprive the vast majority of Var fans and fans of seeing the OM.
Boudjellal invites the ultras to fight elsewhere
The former Top 14 RCT chairman is confident the match will go without incident. Especially since OM, we already received Mayol less than ten years ago (for a charity match in 2013) and it went very well, recalls the entrepreneur. The stadium was full. I do not accept that the public authorities surrender to the thugs. It is not possible.
And to conclude: If any ultras want to fight (sic), let them and there are plenty of places. I can even advise them where they will be quiet with each other so that they fight each other. (…) But let them leave peace and not take football hostage. For now, Hyres FC is awaiting a response from the French Football Federation. But Boudjellal’s comments exclude two options mentioned in recent days: the Francis Turcan stadium in Martigues and the Parsemain stadium in Fos-sur-Mer.
