While the Marie Marvingt stadium had posted closed semicircles for the reception of Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Le Mans will not be able to take advantage of the full income of the meeting. Indeed, the management of PSG has chosen to keep its share of the recipe, which would represent between 250,000 and 300,000 euros in all, a tenth of the annual budget of the Sarthe club according to The team. The capital's club justified its gesture by the fact that Le Mans has a professional club status.
“PSG applied the regulations so as not to retrocede its share of the recipe. Their proposal for the girls' meeting, I think it's humor. I prefer to take it like that otherwise it would be a lack of respect for us ”said President Manceau Thierry Gomez. PSG management would have promised Le Mans to leave the recipe for the match between the two women's teams in the French Cup, on February 7.
