More Coupe ties frozen out
07/02/2012
After Dijon-PSG, Marseille's trip to Bourg-Péronnas has also fallen victim to the arctic conditions in France, the French Football Federation pushing both matches back to Wednesday, February 15.
The FFF took the decision when meeting on Monday to set a date for PSG's tie in Dijon, originally set for Tuesday night, and has scheduled both matches for Wednesday, February 15, with Marseille to kick off at 17:00 in the snowy Rhône-Alpes region and PSG at 19:00 in Burgundy.
The tie pitting Quevilly (National, D3) against Orleans (CFA, D4), originally scheduled this week, will be played in Rouen, Normandy on Tuesday, February 21.
Ongoing threat
At this stage the rest of the last-16 clashes are set to go ahead as scheduled despite the continuing cold weather, including VA-Lille and Lyon-Bordeaux (both Wednesday), but the FFF has made it clear that further postponements could still be necessary.
