If the OAC had to find a fallback ground because of the work in its Pierre Pibarot stadium, the Cévennes club will play well on its land next season.
The most curious and faithful followers of the Olympique d’Alès in the Cévennes will have been able to notice the anomaly. Indeed, the OAC’s playground chosen by the French Football Federation for the 2023-2024 season is the Mosson stadium in Montpellier. In reality, following the incidents on the lighting of the Pibarot stadium in Alès last season which led to the stoppage of the match against Fréjus, work has been undertaken.
A fallback stadium
However, they are of such magnitude that they settled in time, long enough for the FFF to not be able to approve it as the main ground of the OAC. The club therefore had to find a fallback stadium. “As the Uzès stadium is no longer approved for the N2, it was the metropolis of Montpellier which then responded favorably to our request” declared the club on social networks.
But don’t worry, the OAC will indeed evolve on its land next season: “The works at Pibarot are now complete and […] our resumption of the championship at home should take place well at the Pierre Pibarot stadium” assures the club.
New recruit for the National 2
The Alès club, which inherited this season from a chicken for the less raised, recorded in its ranks a new reinforcement in the person of Wilfried Baana, who comes to reinforce the offensive sector of the workforce of Hakim Malek. The 30-year-old Franco-Cameroonian joins the blues and whites from Hyères.
