While the 12th day of D1 Feminine approach, including the match between OL and VGA Saint-Maur, the latter has confirmed that the meeting will take place this Sunday.

The Paris club, immersed in silence since last Sunday spoke via Facebook to announce the news: "The Vga Saint Maur Feminine will be present this Sunday in Lyon to face the leader of D1." However, uncertainty has long hung over the course of this meeting.

Before you begin, a little reminder of the facts for those who have not followed. A week ago, following the meeting against La Roche sur Yon (1-4), VGA coach Saint-Maur, Régis Mohar, told the media and his players that he " had been pushed out "by the club management. A decision that the players did not accept, the latter then going on strike. They even hovered a doubt about a possible package against Olympique Lyonnais. In the process, Captain Saint-Maurienne, Leila Meflah, agreed to confide in us on the situation, saying that the decision was not fixed for OL-VGA.

Since then, no information had publicly filtered about this match and its possible unfolding. Some sources close to OL and the VGA have told us that the match this weekend would be maintained. Information impossible to confirm 100% so far, the two clubs have not expressed themselves about this meeting, including VGA Saint-Maur. She has indeed released no statement in relation to the situation of the weekend and has since seemed to have hidden in silence. An understandable decision, the time to settle the business internally without the risk of having an outside intervention or words that could cause even more problems. This silence, however, leaves fans and observers of women's football unclear.

Because if, in all likelihood, the meeting will be held on Sunday, nothing prevents a rebound last minute. Let's not forget either that the Saint-Mauriennes had been categorical in their statement last Saturday: "Without the return of our coaches, there will be more team at VGA Saint-Maur". If the match on Sunday is maintained, it would mean that the management of the Ile-de-France club would have reversed its decision to push his coaches to the exit. Many unanswered questions and many gray areas that could be illuminated this Sunday.
