The top-of-the-table clash between defending champions Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon, part of the eighth round of the French football league, has been postponed from Sunday to Monday at the request of the prefect of police due to protests in Paris, the league announced on Friday.
In a statement, the league said it had “taken note of the police decision to ban the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais, which was scheduled for Sunday evening at 8:45 p.m. (19:45 GMT)... and decided to reschedule the match for Monday evening at 8:30 p.m.”
This marks the fourth rescheduling of weekend matches in both the top and second divisions, as French authorities prepare for a new wave of protests in Paris and across the country, following one of the worst outbreaks of urban violence in recent years, which coincided with demonstrations that erupted two weeks ago.
