Women’s football: FCEB will face Dijon, D1 team, in the 32nd round of the Coupe de France

Barely time to savor this qualification against Châtenoy, the Bastia club was invited in duplex to the BeIN set this Monday evening to attend the draw for the next round, marked by the entry into the running of D1 clubs.

And it is the Dijon FCO club playing at the highest national level (8th in D1) which has been designated to face the daughters of President Alain Mosconi on January 14.

“We are delighted with this draw, it’s fabulous, commented, moved, the president. We are going to take the steps to obtain the right to play at Armand-Cesari, because we promise a very nice celebration, for Corsican football, for women’s football.”

The Bastiaises, impatient to know the name of their opponent, were in turmoil as soon as the name of the DFCO fell. If the adversary is big, the ambitions are also great. “We intend to win, assures Alain Mosconi. We hope that everyone will join us to help us overcome this major obstacle. Per a cità è per a Corsica!”

While the ACA and Furiani were unable to validate their ticket for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France this weekend by falling against hierarchically inferior teams, subject to the sad observation that no island club – male – will be present in the competition (something which has only happened twice since 1965, in 1988 and in 2010), Corsica will therefore be represented by this small female team with great courage .
