Charléty Lawn, episode 25… In all likelihood, Paris FC will not be able to play its next home match against AC Ajaccio on March 16, in its stadium, due to the state of the pitch.
“We are seriously considering relocating the match,” reveals Arnaud Campanella.
The general secretary and head of security of Paris FC came to inspect the pitch this Friday.
“It is still in a catastrophic state, waterlogged,” he regrets.
There are construction machines that passed this week but I have the impression that it is even worse.
A laboratory came to take readings of the different layers, the stadium management is awaiting the results.

To “host” AC Ajaccio, Paris FC is therefore considering several options which will be outside the Paris region, such as the Aube stadium in Troyes - which has already hosted the first four matches this season when the pitch was under construction. , the Michel-d'Ornano stadium in Caen or another.... It's starting to get seriously messy... The worst in this affair is that while Paris FC is undergoing a situation which has consequences both financial and sports, the Paris town hall continues to turn a deaf ear.
“We have had no direct and official exchange with the town hall,” says Arnaud Campanella.
We have the feeling that no one wants to take a step in the direction of Paris FC.
We are disappointed and even more than that, angry.

The club had already had to relocate its Women's French Cup semi-final against PSG to the Robert-Bobin stadium in Bondoufle this Sunday (3 p.m.).
“A 100% Parisian derby which is played in Essonne is really not a promotion for women's sport,” emphasizes Arnaud Campanella.
We were hoping to have a good turnout at Charléty, we had planned activities but instead, we have to play at Bondoufle.
Everyone is impacted, the club, our supporters and our players.
