Overview
- The Bouches-du-Rhône prefect canceled Sunday night’s OM–PSG match at the Vélodrome due to safety risks tied to an intense Mediterranean weather episode.
- Météo-France warned of 70–90 mm of rain, locally up to 120 mm within hours, with risks including dangerous crowd movements and lightning exposure.
- Authorities said a new date will be set quickly, and a source close to talks told AFP the match will probably be played Monday evening, which would overlap with the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
- LFP rules call for weather-postponed fixtures to be replayed the next day when possible, and both clubs were informed of the decision in advance.
- PSG traveled with a depleted squad with Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and João Neves out and Bradley Barcola a doubt, while elsewhere Lens beat Lille 3-0 in the Derby du Nord on Saturday.
