Lens/PSG – CUP's bold call for the Trophée des Champions | OneFootball

On Sunday, August 16 at 8:45 p.m., Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1 winner) and RC Lens (Coupe de France winner) will face off at Stade Bollaert in the 2026 Trophée des Champions. According to RMC Sport, the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP), PSG’s main supporters’ group, has decided to boycott the match.

There is no explanation yet, which will probably come in a statement from the CUP. It can be assumed that the draw to determine the venue for the match was not particularly well received, but it may mainly be an issue of travel conditions.

In any case, it is a real blow to the atmosphere in the stadium. Even if the Lens supporters will certainly sing throughout the match, it is always better to have both sets of fans in the stands. It is a shame, but the Collectif Ultras Paris certainly did not make this decision lightly.
