The excitement is building around Espaly (N3), one of the little thumbs of the Coupe de France. Their round of 16 against PSG, scheduled for January 15 at 9 p.m., will be played to a sold-out crowd at the Marcel-Michelin stadium in Clermont-Ferrand.
General public tickets were sold in less than an hour, as announced by ASM Clermont, the rugby club which is lending its stadium for the occasion. Christian Perbet, president of the amateur club, predicted enthusiasm among the Auvergne public, and he was not wrong: nearly 15,000 spectators, including 3,000 Parisian supporters, will attend this match, which already promises to be historic.
