The FBBP 01 will give a little air to its accounting thanks to its 32e final of the Coupe de France played on December 21 at the Marcel-Verchère stadium against Olympique de Marseille (0-6).
The revenue from this match (which is not the net profit, since the organizational costs will have to be deducted) amounts to a little more than 105,000 euros.
As a reminder, Olympique de Marseille left its share to Bourg-Péronnas, i.e. half of this sum. Which delighted the president of FBBP 01 Gilles Garnier, as he confided to Progrès on the evening of the match. “Pablo Longoria (Editor’s note: president of the board of directors of Olympique de Marseille) told me that there was no problem with that, everything went well,” recounted the Bressan manager. “He told me they were very well received. It’s all good for our club, it’s a real breath of fresh air that we get in accounting and financial matters. I’m happy for the club and the institution. »
Precious breath of financial air
Bourg-Péronnas does not necessarily have expandable financial windfalls, and this influx of money is precious for a club which has a budget of around 2.3 million euros, among the lowest in the National division. “Last year, we were lucky to have very talented young players who had been wanted elsewhere and who we had sold,” continued Gilles Garnier on the evening of the match. “This year it may not be the case, but at least we have this day which will allow us to finish the season peacefully and correctly. »
Heading towards the challenge of maintaining a sporting level
Sportingly, Bourg-Péronnas will also have a big challenge to take on. 15e (with 10 points) of National with only one point ahead of the red zone where Quevilly (16e with 9 points) and Stade Briochin (17e with 7 units), the FBBP 01 wants to succeed in ensuring its maintenance in this division which will become Ligue 3 next off-season.
The Blues’ next championship match is scheduled for Friday January 16 in Valenciennes. Before the reception of Châteauroux on Friday January 23 at the Verchère stadium.
