Champions League: UEFA to honour victims in Nepal

Paris Saint-Germain will take part this week in the tribute organized in memory of the victims of the flash floods that struck Nepal on August 26. Before Paris Saint-Germain vs. Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League, a minute of silence and a message of support will notably be observed, as announced by UEFA.

A tribute before all Champions League matches

European football will show its support for the Nepalese people on the opening matchday of the Champions League. UEFA has decided on several measures ahead of all the matches being played this week, including Paris Saint-Germain’s at the Parc des Princes.

“A minute of silence will be observed, and a banner will be displayed as a sign of solidarity and support before all UEFA Champions League matches this week. The banner will carry the message ‘You are not alone Nepal.’ The European football family will stand together in unity before this week’s matches to express its deepest condolences and support to the people of Nepal. We wish them strength and resilience as they continue to recover from this tragedy and its consequences.”

PSG will therefore be directly involved in this tribute when they host Slovan Bratislava. This match will mark the Parisians’ entry into the 2026–2027 Champions League league phase, with this moment of reflection taking place before kick-off. A fine initiative following this natural disaster.
