As denounced by Stade de Reims women’s coach Amandine Miquel, the FFF forced the Champagne club to come to the Paris region to play the D1 Arkéma match against PSG on Wednesday, despite the extreme weather conditions.
Largely beaten by the women’s PSG with a score of 4-0, Wednesday evening in D1 Arkéma, the Stade de Reims does not have many excuses. But the Champagne club would have preferred not to travel to Poissy even though the Paris police headquarters had asked Ile-de-France residents, at midday, to return home before 7 p.m. and to avoid the main roads due to the snow and above all sleet.
However, the FFF literally forced the Reims team, 4th in the championship, to move to the west of the Paris region. “ The French Football Federation made us understand that we had to come at all costs: by plane, by helicopter, by Concorde, on horseback. We had to manage, in any case there was no possibility of postponing “, regretted Amandine Miquel, the coach of the women’s SRFC, quoted by the Twitter account Footballers.
As this player who played for Chelsea and Juvisy tells us, the Reims delegation was then left without help after the meeting, while a return to the East of France had become impossible. The players made do with a hotel without a sufficient number of rooms. The SRFC also asked to move their meeting against Guingamp from Saturday to Sunday, but the FFF refused.
