It’s a decision that will undoubtedly cause an uproar. According to RMC Sport, the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) is now prohibited from accessing the Parc des Princes outside of match days, according to a decision taken during a meeting between PSG and the Ministry of the Interior. This measure follows recent incidents deemed unacceptable, such as homophobic chants and a pro-Palestine tifo. During this meeting in Beauvau, Othman Nasrou, Secretary of State in charge of the fight against discrimination, reminded the general director of PSG, Victoriano Melero, of the importance of sanctioning the supporters involved. The ministry warned that if PSG did not take sufficient measures, additional actions would be considered.
Strong control measures put in place
The club plans to strengthen its tifo control procedures to eliminate any political message and is considering a period without tifo in the Tribune Auteuil. Furthermore, internal discussions will begin to move forward on commercial stadium bans concerning identified individuals. This ban on Ultras outside match days, already applied in the past, is part of a strategy aimed at restoring order at the Parc des Princes. The French Football Federation (FFF), represented by Erwan Le Prévost, attended the meeting without playing an active role.
