PSG vs Lyon match postponed by 24 hours amid Paris protests

Paris St Germain’s scheduled Ligue 1 game against Olympique Lyonnais at the Parc des Princes has been moved back by 24 hours. The decision was taken by the club and the Ligue 1 officials following a review of security arrangements.

The postponement comes as Paris prepares for a wave of protests that are expected to take place over the weekend. Local authorities have warned that large crowds could disrupt sporting events, leading to the rescheduling of the match.

The original fixture was set for Sunday, but it will now take place on Monday. The new date was agreed upon after consultations with the police, the stadium security team and the clubs involved.

Both PSG and Lyon will need to adjust their training schedules and travel plans. The clubs have expressed their commitment to ensuring player safety and maintaining the integrity of the competition.

The Ligue 1 season will resume with the rescheduled match, and the league will continue to monitor the situation closely to avoid further disruptions.
