In Paris, a curfew was once again established by the prefecture around Place de la République and Les Halles during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, while Paris Saint-Germain is due to host Lyon on Sunday at 8:45 p.m. at the Parc des Princes. The postponement of the Toulouse-Troyes meeting follows that of Ligue 2 between Montpellier and Red Star. This first meeting, scheduled for Saturday, was postponed to Monday at the request of the Hérault prefecture.
In Toulouse, the Haute-Garonne prefecture has also established a curfew during the nights from Thursday to Sunday around the Capitol and in several shopping streets in the city center. Another sporting event is also scheduled to take place on Saturday in the city, with the rugby match between Stade Toulouse and Perpignan at the Ernest-Wallon stadium at 4:35 p.m.
This change of schedule was decided at the request of the Haute-Garonne prefecture and in agreement with the broadcaster Ligue1+, the Professional Football League said on Wednesday. The match of the 8th day of Ligue 1 between Toulouse and Troyes, initially scheduled for Saturday afternoon, has been postponed to Sunday at 5:15 p.m. in Toulouse.
This is the second professional sporting event postponed following the violence that occurred last weekend on the sidelines of the October 17 parades, while new demonstrations could take place on Saturday.
