Wednesday will be held the draw for the 7th round of the Coupe de France for which 19 clubs from League 2 will enter the competition. 19 only because Niort won’t be part of it. If Chamois supporters remember it well, those of other clubs may have forgotten the consequences of a case that dates back more than a year.

In August 2020, the club changed its shareholding, Guy Cotret taking the presidency, in place of Karim Fradin, supported in particular by the brothers Mikaël and Eytan Hanouna, a sudden reversal, of which the DNCG had not been informed. The regulations require that in the event of a transfer of capital, the seller appears before the DNCG with the potential new owners. The supervisory body therefore sanctioned the club for ” non-compliance with the control procedure before the change of shareholder materializes “. Verdict: €250,000 fine and ban on entering the Coupe de France. If Niort had been able to participate in the 2020-21 edition, it is because it had already started on the date of the statement of the sanction. The punishment was carried over to the following season.
