This is the jackpot for Croix, a regular at good performances in the competition who will therefore welcome Valenciennes, probably on Saturday October 26 at the Henri-Seigneur stadium. “ It’s Valenciennes but it’s a National club », immediately poses the Croisien president Patrice Weynants present at the draw for the sixth round organized at the headquarters of the Ligue des Hauts-de-France, in Villeneuve-d’Ascq. “ We eliminated two teams from the National level (Boulogne and Marignane) during our journey which took us to the round of 16, in 2019. We still have seven players who had experienced this adventure. We believe in it, we hope for an attendance of between 1,500 and 2,000 spectators. »
For Cysoing (D1), it’s downright ecstasy at the idea of challenging the USBCO in the Pévèle. “We are going to play a historic club, a big club in the region,” says coach Joffrey Collette. “ This is the ideal draw. »
Heir to the epic of the year 2000 (final against Nantes), RC Calais will travel to little Poucet Daours (D2). Among the other district clubs, Sin-le-Noble (D1) will receive a big piece, Beauvais (N2). Maroilles (D1) will host the Portuguese from Amiens (R1).
