The Chambly - Le Mans match will finally take place in Beauvais and behind closed doors this Friday evening. It is now official. The National Football League announced this Tuesday morning on its site. "In agreement with the Prefecture of Oise, the FC Chambly Oise - Le Mans FC match counting for the 28th day of Domino's Ligue 2, scheduled for Friday March 6, 2020 at 8:00 pm, will be played in Beauvais behind closed doors as part of the measures taken by public authorities with regard to the coronavirus, ”said the LFP press release.
While the department of Oise is severely affected by the coronavirus, the prefect, himself confined since Monday, had issued a decree on Saturday banning "collective gatherings" from March 1 to 14 inclusive.
"The health crisis which strikes France and more particularly our department of Oise forced to adapt to new rules, ensures FC Chambly in a press release. We are sorry for all those who support us, supporters, partners, communities, and for the many people who had already bought their ticket for this game. But nothing is more important today than stemming the spread of the coronavirus and the health of our fellow citizens. "
