The first trophy of the year in France will soon be distributed. PSG will face AS Monaco on January 5 during the Champions Trophy which has once again been relocated abroad. This season, the meeting will take place in Doha, Qatar.
For the occasion, PSG is offering a complete offer worth 100 euros for its 250 most loyal supporters. An announcement that the Parisian club made in an email sent to numerous subscribers.
Parisian ultras mixed
The initiative of the Parisian leaders received a rather mixed reception among PSG fans. According to our information, no member of a group from the Collectif Ultras Paris will participate in this trip. A decision out of concern “for consistency with the ultras movement which cannot support this competition which will be played on the other side of the world while several French cities could have hosted this event”.
But the main group of Parisian supporters specifies that its members remain free to do what they want. Only independents from the Auteuil bend could go there. Privately, in the CUP we note despite all the effort made by the club so that fans can attend this poster. Sources note that this type of approach is rarely done on the side of the French Football Federation.
This Sunday, the organizers of the Champions Trophy communicated about ticketing. After the exhaustion of a first batch of tickets, the number of which has not been filtered, they decided to put a second batch on sale this Sunday at 3 p.m. Doha time, i.e. 1 p.m. French time. The match will take place at stadium 974 which was built for the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
Once again a delicate organization
In recent years, the Champions Trophy has experienced its share of twists and turns surrounding its organization. No exception this season since the meeting between PSG and AS Monaco was initially to be held in Beijing on August 8 as part of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and China. France had never received the final authorizations to approve the organization of the event in the Asian country.
RMC Sport then revealed to you last November that Doha imposed itself on the LFP for the organization of this match with little enthusiasm for foreign countries. Other destinations such as Thailand or the Ivory Coast had been mentioned without this coming to fruition. See you next January 5 at Stadium 974 in Doha in front of a stadium with a capacity of 40,000 seats which could have difficulty filling up.
