If the Ligue 1 season is over, with the play-offs still to be played for FC Metz, there is still a summit between elite clubs, and this will take place on Saturday evening at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, with the Coupe de France final between Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain. A meeting which raises fears of possible excesses. The authorities classified it as a “very high risk” match.

According to information gleaned Thursday by RMC, the National Division for the Fight against Hooliganism estimated that this opposition should be ranked at level five on a scale of five, in other words a very high risk of serious disturbances to public order. Exceptional measures will therefore be deployed around this opposition between Gones and Parisians. The media also indicated that the police system “ will be consistent »

Many OL and PSG supporters

And the concern concerns in particular the massive arrival of supporters from Lyon and Paris. In total, 30,000 OL and PSG supporters are expected in the North. The Ultras will be well represented, with 1,500 to 2,000 of them on the Parisian side, compared to around 1,400 for the Lyonnais. A decree was issued by the Prefect of the North, said RMCin order to allow the supervision of the supporters concerned.

The Gambardella Cup final which will take place just before between the young people of Olympique de Marseille and their counterparts from AS Nancy-Lorraine will also be scrutinized with great attention by the police. Football fans, for their part, hope that there will be no excess and that the party will not be spoiled.
