Surprise finalists of the Betclic Elite, the Metropolitans of Victor Wembanyama will challenge Monaco from Thursday evening, and the first two rounds will take place on the Rock. But what about Game 3 and the possible Game 4 which must be played, in principle, in the room of Levallois? Already too small in the previous round since the Mets 92 had “moved” to the Accor Arena for the second round against Asvel, the Marcel Cerdan room will this time make way for Roland-Garros!
It is RMC Sports which confirms it while discussions had been underway for several days. What to have Vincent Collet who had spoken of “nice surprise”.
A first in the playoffs
“I think the final deserves a very nice venue” explained Vincent Collet. “The club is working on a relocation. Bercy will already be occupied by stars. La Defense Arena? It takes a very long time to get back into basketball configuration. But I think there will be a nice surprise. I know but I can’t say…”
Game 3 will therefore be played on June 15 at the Roland-Garros Central, and in the event of a possible fourth round, then the final is played as the best of five matches, Victor Wembanyama and the Mets 92 will play at Roland-Garros again. .
This will not be a first for basketball since on October 6, 2022, Paris-Basketball hosted Monaco there in front of more than 10,000 spectators.
