FC Versailles Urges Municipal Candidates: ‘Why Not a Home Stadium in Our Own City?’

Football News

FC Versailles, a football club competing in the National division, has issued a powerful plea to candidates in the upcoming municipal elections. The club questions why it is compelled to play its home matches away from its namesake city, specifically at a ground in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, situated in the Yvelines department.

This appeal highlights a desire for parity, with the club asking why FC Versailles cannot enjoy the same privilege as France’s major clubs, who traditionally host their games in their respective home cities.
