Les Montpelliérains ne joueront pas ce week-end en Coupe de France. Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

Ce jeudi 18 janvier, le MHSC a appris le report de son 16e de finale de Coupe de France contre les Nordistes de l'Entente Feignies, prévu ce samedi. Les intempéries ont eu raison de la décision municipale

No Coupe de France for the MHSC this weekend. Its round of 16 against Entente Feignies (National 2) was postponed, probably to Wednesday January 24, due to weather conditions and snowfall which has been affecting the north of France for several days. A municipal decree was issued this Thursday, January 18.

"We had heated tarpaulins"

"We found out at 8am this morning. There are 10 centimeters of snow. It's a shame because beautiful weather is forecast for Saturday. We had heating tarpaulins, we had everything. It's a shame for Montpellier because we want to welcome them well", reacted this morning the president of the northern club Laurent Menisent.

The French Football Federation had planned to send vehicles for the meeting to take place but the municipal decree froze everything. See you on January 24, a priori still in Maubeuge for the meeting to take place.
