The round of 16 of the Coupe de France between US Orléans Loiret and Monaco on January 10, 2026 at the La Source stadium will be played to a sold-out crowd, in front of nearly 7,000 people. The supporters intend to make themselves heard.
“We will need the supporters to transcend us, to achieve the feat,” declares Guillaume Khous, the captain of US Orléans Loiret. He and his teammates should not be disappointed.
“We have planned a big tifo on the entire Vagner stand. A KOP of at least 600 people will give voice. The day after the draw, we went to several stores in town to get everything we needed. The town hall provided us with a gymnasium so that we could rehearse the activity, created by the Drouguis! It should be nice! » promises Quentin Villebasse, one of the leaders of the Drouguis.
Tickets for the public at 20 euros and free for subscribers
The Drouguis are the ultras of US Orléans. This name is inspired by the Droogies, a cult band created by Stanley Kubrick in “A Clockwork Orange”. “It’s just a blink of an eye. Orléans Drouguis are harmless. We are ultras, not hooligans,” reassures Quentin who thanks the club for offering tickets for the public at 20 euros and free for subscribers. “It rewards those who are present at all the matches,” he adds.
Jacky Lemée will kick off the match. The former player and coach of US Orléans took his team to the final of the Coupe de France in 1980 against… Monaco. Let’s hope it brings luck to the people of Orléan who would like to make history again.
Quentin Villebasse recognizes that the challenge is considerable but he wants to believe in it. His prognosis? “A goal everywhere at the end of regulation time. And victory on penalties for Orléans! »
