This is the end of hopes for the LFP and the FFF, who were probably no longer having too many illusions anyway. The finals of the Coupe de France (July 24) and the League (July 31) will not be played in front of a Stade de France to a third filled with "25,000 people", as desired by the president of the FFF Noël Le Graët, but with a maximum gauge of 5,000 spectators.
This was confirmed by the Council of State on Monday, by extending the ban on gatherings of more than 5,000 people, which remains unchanged since the decree of May 31 and "remains justified in view of the health situation to date " Before the weekend, the Parisian already assured that the sports ministry had transmitted to the two governing bodies of French football information on the finals, including that concerning the minimum filling of the Stade de France, which therefore risks sounding very hollow since only 6% of the seats will be occupied.
Still according to Le Parisien, 1,000 places should be allocated to each of the clubs for their supporters. But the ultras, including those of the CUP, will most likely boycott the matches.
