FC Metz, the iconic Ligue 1 club, will not play in Homécourt this year, a piece of news that disappoints many fans. Traditionally, since 2016, the club has made a stop in Homécourt for a preseason match every summer, except in 2020 due to the pandemic. This year, a match was scheduled between FC Metz, recently relegated to Ligue 2, and US Thionville Lusitanos, promoted to Ligue 3. Unfortunately, the match has been canceled. Julien Zamichiei, president of Val de l’Orne Football Club, expressed his disappointment regarding this situation. He mentioned that without an additional match added to the schedule, FC Metz will not come this year. Fans hope that other opportunities will arise to see their favorite team in action.
