The 2024 Champions Trophy, between Paris Saint-Germain (2023-2024 French champion and winner of the Coupe de France) and AS Monaco (2nd in Ligue 1), had to be postponed due to administrative concerns while it was scheduled for August 8 in Beijing. We now have to find a new date and another location. The Doha track in Qatar was mentioned. It is confirmed by The Team this Wednesday.
« The option of competing in France was also studied.«
“On the agenda of the board of directors of the Professional Football League (LFP) on Thursday is the issue of the 2024 Champions Trophy. This match between the French champion and the second in Ligue 1 could finally be played in… Doha in Qatar.
This was the trend in recent days after many reversals and an avenue explored in Ivory Coast recently. This meeting would take place in early 2025, possibly on January 5.
The option of competing in France was also studied. This solution could see the light of day again, if Doha were also to fail. »
This is a very possible option, especially with the link between PSG and Qatar. It's a way of having a promotional passage for the club and Ligue 1. The LFP and Monaco must still be convinced by this long journey.
Playing in France would also make sense for a French trophy, it avoids additional fatigue for the players. But we know that image is important and we need to get closer to other audiences for development.
Let's wait now for certainty, it is not yet an official announcement and other locations had been put forward for this match. Nothing is certain yet.
