After beach volleyball (from Thursday September 29 to Sunday October 2), Roland-Garros is once again changing skin.
The clay theater dear to Rafael Nadal lets settle this Sunday (3 p.m.) a basketball meeting the Betclic Elite between Paris (18th) and Monaco (1st).
A relocated match in the flashy decor of the Philippe Chatrier court offering a big gap between an undefeated Roca Team and Parisians still waiting for a first success in Elite.
The leaders of Paris who cut their teeth in the NBA, such as the future hall of nearly 8,000 seats built at Porte de la Chapelle for the Paris-2024 Olympic Games, and delivered next summer, are serious assets of the club which think big.
In March, last season, the Parisian club had invested Paris-Bercy, already for the poster against Monaco, and had attracted just over 8,000 spectators.
This Sunday, he is counting on a “
reasonable and achievable objective of 10,000 spectators
”, according to his spokesperson quoted by AFP, for an investment of 200,000 euros between rental and organizational costs.
At least one other poster at Paris-Bercy is planned for the second half of the season.
The shock against Asvel the weekend following the NBA regular season match between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons, relocated to Paris on January 19, ticks all the boxes.
