The upcoming match between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille has been designated with the highest security level by French authorities. This decision means there will be no Marseille supporters permitted in the away section of Parc des Princes for this highly anticipated Classique game. In a reciprocal arrangement, PSG fans will also be banned from attending the return fixture later in the season.
According to reports, the National Division for Combating Hooliganism (DNLH) has classified this match as Level 5 security risk, the most severe category. This classification indicates a significant concern for potential public disturbances, necessitating the implementation of extensive security measures.
A security meeting is scheduled to finalize the police strategy and further evaluate any potential risks associated with the event. The match is set to occur just five days following PSG’s critical Champions League match against Liverpool.
