OM will have to do without its supporters. The latter will not be able to approach the Parc des Princes, Sunday March 16 during the classic against PSG, announces a decree of the Paris police headquarters. This measure also prohibits supporters from the Marseille club to circulate in certain areas of the capital.
Classified at the maximum risk level by the authorities (5 on a scale of 5), this match arouses security fears. Thus, from 5:00 p.m. Sunday at 01:00 Monday, “Anyone prevailing about the quality of supporter of Marseille or behaving as such” will be prohibited from presence within a perimeter including Paris and Boulogne-Billancourt. This decision is a continuation of a strict policy applied since 2018.
The principle of reciprocity
The principle of reciprocity has already been applied during the first leg at the Vélodrome on October 27, where no Parisian supporter was allowed to make the trip. “Despite the lack of organized displacement of Marseille supporters, special attention must be paid to the possible presence of traditional supporters of Olympique de Marseille”indicates a police service note.
“Any presence of the latter near the enclosure or in the stands could cause disturbances to public order”specify the police. Despite this, the confrontation between PSG and OM promises to be burning on the ground.
