Winner of Grasse this weekend during the round of 16 of French Cupthe club of Rodez got the right… to move again! This season is already the 5th time that the Ruthenians have traveled for a cup match. A situation that becomes repetitive and a bit annoying for the Aveyronnais, who will play away for the 21st time in a row in this competition!

An improbable series of 21 away games which remains to be qualified all the same, since the RAF has been playing in Ligue 2 for four seasons and has been forced to move since 2019 when it faces an opponent of N2 or lower level. Moreover, Rodez was able to play in his own enclosure on October 27, 2019, during a cup match against his neighbor, Druelle FC, which had to abandon its stadium for Paul-Lignon but was still considered the home team.
