Last Sunday, the match counting for the 10th day of Ligue 1 between Olympique de Marseille and Olympique de Marseille was canceled due to the aggression of Marseille supporters towards the Lyon bus and its players. This Thursday, the LFP made a decision concerning the date of this meeting.
The president of the LFP Vincent Labrune announced that this Marseille – Lyon counting for the 10th day of Ligue 1 will be replayed on Wednesday December 6.
“ The committee has just decided to reschedule the match for December 6. But above all, it will subsequently determine the location of this meeting while awaiting additional information from the public authorities guaranteeing conditions of optimal safety and security for all its stakeholders and the public. For my part, I asked yesterday, under Article 4 of the disciplinary regulations, that the disciplinary committee be referred to on an exceptional basis so that the file can be processed in its entirety, and in particular in order to assess the areas of responsibility in the conditions of access to the Stade Vélodrome,” he declared.
🚨 OM-OL will be replayed on December 6!
The arrangements for organizing the meeting are deliberated and defined subsequently.

A Stade Vélodrome behind closed doors?
On Wednesday December 6, Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais will face each other for the first time this season. A clash which could well take place in a Vélodrome stadium behind closed doors. Events which should undoubtedly penalize Marseille supporters for this poster.
Currently last in the championship, the Rhone residents will first have to recover and try to achieve a result in front of their supporters this Sunday against FC Metz. Support from Groupama Stadium is more than essential to help the players turn things around in this difficult start to the season…
