US Pays de Cassel’s home tie with the French champions has been moved to Lens, with 30,000 tickets sold already.
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN WILL be brought back down to earth following a lucrative friendly against Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia this week as they play a French Cup tie against an amateur village team from France’s regional sixth tier on Monday.
The club represents a handful of villages in the Flanders countryside, half an hour inland from the port of Dunkirk in France’s far north. But organisers then changed their minds. Wasquehal beat Reims Sainte-Anne on penalties when the tie was replayed and they advanced to play Pays de Cassel last weekend.
“It is a source of enormous joy for my young players and for the whole of Flanders. This match is historic,” the Pays de Cassel president, Jean-Jacques Vaesken, told Le Parisien. The financial windfall means it is set to be a transformative occasion for the club, as well as an unforgettable night for the players.Nations Analysis Get Murray Kinsella’s exclusive analysis of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign this spring“We are going to try to at least hold them until half-time or score a goal. I would be amazed, but we will try and it would be magnificent,” Vaesken added.
