PSG v Nantes – Nantes fans slam Kita after match postponed

The postponement of PSG-Nantes continues to provoke strong tensions, this time reaching the stands of the Beaujoire. On Saturday, FC Nantes supporters targeted Waldemar Kita, the 72-year-old president of the club, as well as Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the 52-year-old president of Paris Saint-Germain, in an action reported by RMC Sport, against a backdrop of calendar disputes and a very sensitive power struggle between sporting interests and a sense of injustice. A staging that refers to the trip to the Parc des Princes that was supposed to take place next week, between March 13 and 15, and has been postponed.

"Well done Waldemar, you are a good puppy!"

"The Unleashed Qatari": this is the funny newspaper that the Brigade Loire distributed, this Saturday, in the presidential stand of the Beaujoire. A few minutes after the kickoff of the match against Angers, counting for the 25th day of Ligue 1, several dozen FC Nantes supporters entered the press stand. In a "quite surreal" scene, as reported by our on-site reporter, they threw these drawings into the presidential stand located below where the press works and which is currently closed to the public. The supporters (some of them masked) then joined the Loire stand.

"Too many humiliations break our motivation"

The Nantes supporters also protested in the stands by displaying scathing banners. "PSG-FCN postponed: we will put ourselves in trouble for the beautiful eyes of PSG. Waldemar, you really don't care anymore," one can read. Or: "Too many humiliations break our motivation."

Beyond the provocation and the very harsh messages seen at the Beaujoire, this episode mainly reflects a case where nothing is simple. On one side, PSG obtained the postponement of this match to better prepare for their double European confrontation against Chelsea, with the classic argument of defending French football's interests on the continental stage.

On the other side, Nantes can legitimately harbor a form of bitterness, as a club engaged in a sporting battle never experiences a disrupted schedule serenely to the benefit of a more powerful opponent. The anger against Waldemar Kita, already longstanding in the Nantes environment, has been grafted onto this explosive context. Fundamentally, this controversy reminds us that between institutional logic, economic hierarchy, and the demand for fairness, French football often advances on a tightrope.

The core of the debate even goes beyond the sole case of Nantes. Favoring a French representative in the European Cup can be defended, but this type of decision almost always leaves a mark on the opposing club, especially when it feels it is paying the price of a system where not all interests weigh the same.
