Very lively incidents broke out on Friday evening in Ajaccio on the eve of the match between the Corsican club and Olympique de Marseille. The mayor of the city alerts the authorities and wants to prevent the arrival of the 600 OM fans expected this Saturday. But he was not heard.
French football has been talked about and not really in the most beautiful way for 24 hours. Because while the last day of Ligue 2 turned sour, the evening was also very hot in Ajaccio. This Saturday, the ACA, which is relegated, receives OM, and the Marseille fans who arrived on the eve of the match were treated to a muscular welcome. Big incidents broke out in town, to the point that the mayor asked the authorities to stop the arrival of the 600 Marseille supporters expected in the coming hours. He also took the opportunity to say all the bad things he thought about the Corsican fans who provoked these very violent scenes.

Asked in Corse-Morning, Stéphane Sbraggia did not hide his concern. ” I went to meet the Marseille supporters who were staying at the Hotel Fesch. They told me that they had been the subject of provocations from Ajacciens and had responded to them. These same Ajacciens then left for the citadel where they ransacked bars and attacked Marseille supporters. I called the adviser to the Minister of the Interior who is currently present in Ajaccio, I was unable to reach him but I left him a message to ask that the 600 or so Marseille supporters arriving by boat be blocked and to that the game is cancelled. I also made this request to the prefect (…) I am appalled by the behavior of the Ajacciens, by the violent and collective stupidity. I did not expect these acts to come from us “Said the mayor of Ajaccio who has so far not won his case. This Saturday, and under the control of the CRS, the first Marseille supporters indeed arrived in Corsica.
