Paris FC hope for 15,000 crowd for Arsenal Champions League tie | OneFootball

Paris FC hope for a 15,000 crowd when they host Arsenal in the Champions League at Jean-Bouin on Wednesday, with kick-off at 18:45.

According to L'Équipe, an intense communications drive around the fixture means the mark of 15,000 tickets issued, paid seats and invitations combined, is expected to be reached this afternoon. It is the second matchday of the league phase.

As the club continues to reshape following the arrival of new shareholders, the Arnault family, Paris FC are also chasing results on the pitch to validate that progress.

Head coach Sandrine Soubeyrand described Jean-Bouin as a fine, human-scale venue and said it is more enjoyable to play in front of 10,000 or 15,000 than in a quiet stadium. She encouraged anyone keen to watch a good match between two good sides to come along.

The hosts lost 2-5 at Barcelona last week and are counting on strong backing at home. Around the game, the club have arranged several activities, including a giant half-time karaoke of Céline Dion hits, with the singer currently in Paris for a series of concerts.
