Heads up, Sporting! Police set for tight security at PSG clash | OneFootball

Sporting hosts PSG with a strong security setup planned in Lisbon. The Public Security Police have been notified that around 500 members of the Parisian ultras will be in the city, leading to a significant increase in patrols, especially in areas with a high concentration of fans.

A total of 2,600 supporters are traveling from the French capital to the Portuguese capital, and the increased patrolling began this Monday, focusing on strategic locations such as bars and stadium access areas. Authorities have been monitoring the route of PSG fans and implementing preventive measures to avoid incidents.

It is recalled that in October 2022, during the Parisians' visit to Benfica's ground, there were clashes between ultras and the PSP. This history led the Public Security Police to reinforce security protocols for the upcoming match in Alvalade, ensuring the ability to respond immediately to any risk situation.

Sporting fans were also subjected to violence during this European journey, in October. Before the match against Napoli, in Italy, there were clashes between the supporters of both sides, hours before the game started. Fans of the Alvalade Club were reportedly ambushed.

The green and white team returns to the field tomorrow, January 20th, against Paris Saint-Germain. The match, part of the seventh round of the Champions League, against the team led by Luis Enrique, will start at 8:00 PM in Alvalade.
