In a press release published this Friday, the Ultras Paris Collective announced that it was boycotting the TrophĂ©e des Champions, which will be played at the Parc des Princes on January 3, between Paris Saint-Germain and Toulouse Football Club. “The Ultras Paris Collective has decided to boycott the champions trophy which will take place on January 3, 2024 in our Parc des Princes. There are multiple reasons. For years the LFP has organized the champions’ trophy abroad, selling it to the highest bidder to the defiance of loyal supporters. Obviously this year the “League of Talents” was unable to find a host country and finally remembers after years the French fans who populate our stadiums…”
And to add: “Moreover the prices imposed by the LFP are unacceptable and go against our values ​​and the defense of popular football, for the record visitor tickets cost 18.50e for the LDC match in Dortmund. Finally, the global security context which continues to point the finger at supporters in contempt of their freedom to come and go does not make us want to be extras in this masquerade which aims to be the showcase of French football which stigmatizes supporters in disregard of their rights. For all of these reasons, we will let the LFP organize this trophy in a lifeless stadium which should remind it of previous editions in China, the USA or elsewhere…”
