A torn sticker caused the cancellation of the match between HBC Nantes and VHA Villeurbanne. The men of HBC Nantes traveled to Villeurbanne to play a match in the round of 64 of the Coupe de France, but the meeting never took place because of this technical problem. The iron-on sponsor tape from the pitch was peeled off before the match, leaving sticky marks that could not be cleaned in time. Players couldn’t move on such a sticky surface. Grégory Cojean, the coach of the HBC Nantes men’s team, expresses his annoyance and frustration at this situation. He considers that this should not happen again in the future. Moreover, this cancellation is not the best preparation for the match against PSG scheduled in a few days, the Champions Trophy. The people of Nantes will have to modify their organization to train and prepare accordingly. The terms and conditions for postponing the match will have to be decided by the French Handball Federation. The VHA Villeurbanne apologized to the supporters for this cancellation.
