Barbecue and TV as FBBP 01 endure anxious night, exempt on final day | OneFootball

FBBP 01 will endure a decisive night without kicking a ball, provisionally safe but reliant on rivals to seal survival. Players and staff plan to watch together at the team doctor’s home on Friday from 7.30pm.

With the National reduced to 17 teams after AC Ajaccio’s administrative relegation before the season, one club sits out each round. According to L'Équipe, the schedule leaves FBBP 01 exempt on the final night.

The group is due between 6.30pm and 7pm at Lucas Reynaud’s house, barbecue included, to follow the multiplex. Captain Quentin Lacour admitted heavy anxiety, describing a morning knot in the stomach, no appetite, and an urgent desire for the season to end.

Should results go their way, they could later head to the training centre, where the club-house will screen the coverage for supporters.

Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas are 14th, two points above 16th-placed Châteauroux and one ahead of 15th Quevilly-Rouen Métropole. They stay up if QRM, who host Paris 13 Atlético, lose or if Châteauroux do not win at Valenciennes, on a final night before National becomes Ligue 3 next season.
