Coupe de France Revenue Sharing: Stade de Reims Sparks Controversy with “Unfair” Gesture

The revenue was shared between the two clubs following the Coupe de France match won by Stade de Reims (3-0), the 8th in Ligue 1 picking up its share of the money, ultimately leaving only one half of the 24,000 euros collected by the ticket office at the National 2 club.

The regulations have never set anything in stone, or rather they have, but it establishes that the two clubs must share the revenue. However, for a number of years, the tradition has been that the professional club leaves its share of the revenue generated by ticketing to Little Thumb met in the Coupe de France. The goal? Helping a club with much more modest financial means to finance infrastructure and logistics that it is not usually faced with, and that it often discovers on this occasion. It is rare to see Ligue 1 clubs depart from this custom, but it has happened in the past, again this year.

“Cranky methods”

The defeat against Stade de Reims remained in the throat of the leaders of Dinan-Léhon FC, in Côtes-d’Armor. And it was not the score (3-0), quite logical, of the National 2 club against the 8th in Ligue 1 which upset them, but rather the “not very fair play and not very elegant” gesture of their Reims counterparts, denounced by the president of Dinan agglomeration, Arnaud Lécuyer, first on X (ex-Twitter), then in the columns of Ouest France.

Why such anger? Stade de Reims pocketed half of the 24,000 euros raised from ticket sales, and never had the idea of ​​paying half of it to its opponent. “They are within their rights, but these are cad methods. In customs and customs, professional clubs leave the recipe to the amateurs, when the big ones move to the little ones,” protests Laurent Dartois, president of Dinan- Léhon FC, also interviewed by Ouest France.

Paris Saint-Germain was the first to make known its intention to leave its share of the revenue to the fans of Revel (Regional 1), defeated in Chartres by the men of Luis Enrique (0-9), qualified for the 16th of the competition where they will meet Orléans (N).
