It was dreaded, it is now acted. Scheduled for this Sunday evening at 8:45 p.m., the first classic of the season between OM and PSG will not take place, weather conditions oblige. In recent hours, Météo France had warned violent thunderstorms expected in the Bouches-du-Rhône during the evening.
The prefecture of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region had first confirmed the holding of the meeting, specifying that ” If the weather conditions worsen, the situation may have to evolve ». It evolved, since the prefect confirmed this Sunday at the beginning of the afternoon that the meeting would be postponed to a later date.
It remains to define a new date
“The match is postponed because there can be strong precipitation with significant risks of urban runoff in and around a velodrome of 65,000 places which promised to be crowded”explained Georges-François Leclerc to AFP, while the Bouches-du-Rhône are on orange rain-rude and thunderstorms. It remains to be defined when the meeting can be reprogrammed.
According to article 548 ” Provision of a match delivered or stopped for bad weather »Of the LFP regulation, a match that could not start, which was handed over, or which is definitively interrupted due to bad weather, “Resumes from the minute to which he was interrupted, the next day (excluding extreme conditions), at a schedule set by the LFP services”. Given the context linked to the golden balloon ceremony scheduled for tomorrow, and which will strongly imply PSG, we imagine that the League could exceptionally make its regulations sprain. The next hours should give us answers.
