Coupe de France – Repeat for Marseille supporters

This Sunday (2:45 p.m.), the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France will be played. For the occasion, ASSE is preparing to host Olympique de Marseille. As was already the case during the Ligue 1 match, OM will be deprived of its supporters, due to a prefectural decree.

Sunday afternoon (kick-off at 2:45 p.m.), the Greens will have to play a new shock against Olympique de Marseille, as part of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. This is a remake of the confrontation of December 8, where OM easily dominated their opponent by winning two goals to zero. Speaking of a remake, a new decree from the Loire Prefecture fell last Thursday, depriving Marseille supporters of travel, as during the last confrontation between the two teams, during the 14th day of Ligue 1. Furthermore, the The Ministry of the Interior also got involved by issuing a second decree, citing in particular a staffing problem for the police, monopolized on the inauguration of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral.

For the moment only a prefectural decree is in force, which justifies its motivations by the risks of disturbances to public order linked to the old and lasting antagonism between the supporters of the two teams. The match was classified as a high-risk match (level 4/5) by the National Division for the Fight against Hooliganism (DNLH). As has been the case for a long time, the Marseille parking lot will therefore remain sadly empty for this poster. In addition, the decree also indicates a ban on claiming to be an OM supporter around the stadium as well as in certain places in the city on the day of the match. A decision largely defied during the Ligue 1 meeting between the two teams, given the numerous encouragements received by the Marseillais in the Faurand stand during the Olympians' goals.
