The Federation expels Lyon from the French Cup

Olympique de Lyon, as well as Paris FC, have been eliminated from the French Cup, as confirmed by the French Federation in a statement issued a few minutes ago. The news means that Nice, the team they were going to face if they won the match, go to the round of 16 of the Cup.

The Federation has decreed sanctions for both Paris FC and Lyon for the field invasion that occurred on December 17 that caused the definitive suspension of the meeting corresponding to the thirty-second of the competition. The Parisian team has received a penalty of 10,000 euros, in addition to the elimination of the Cup and the suspension of five games without being able to play in his stadium, the Stade Charléty.

For its part, Lyon has been the worst offender in the Federation’s ruling. The historic Frenchman has received a 52,000 euro fine, the elimination of the Cup on penalties, in addition to the exclusion of the next French Cup in case the violence by their fans does not stop in the fields. The decision is final and both teams will be able to appeal in the next few days.
