PSG v Marseille: The verdict is in for Marseille fans | OneFootball

This Sunday, February 8, at the close of the 21st matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 8:45 pm, broadcast on Ligue1+), Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will host Olympique de Marseille (3rd) at the Parc des Princes. For this match, the Collectif Ultras Paris had called for the presence of Marseille supporters. Today, we learn from RMC Sport that this will go unanswered and unsuccessful.

“It is no longer possible to deploy so many forces for Ligue 1 matches”

This is sad news, for the atmosphere and for the Marseille fans. But also for Parisians, who want to fully experience this clash. That requires the presence of the opponent. We can also already guess that traveling to the Vélodrome will be banned for a while. Beyond this Sunday’s match, it is clear that there are no plans to change the situation anytime soon. There is not even talk of a dialogue, despite the appeal made by the PSG Ultras.

This is not incomprehensible either, given the rivalry that exists and the incidents that have occurred in the past. Except that it also cuts off the possibility to evolve, to improve. This complete deadlock between the different parties is a real problem. The Parisian supporters have reached out, and it’s sad if it goes unanswered.

Especially with Ligue 1 using images of Marseille supporters’ chants spread throughout the Stade Jean Bouin against Paris FC, following their travel ban.

This can only fuel tensions, with a league that highlights the contribution of away supporters, while also pointing out the downside of a travel ban (some still come to the stadium and are not supervised).
