Overview
- Kickoff is scheduled this evening at Jaber al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait City, with the LFP expecting around 50,000 spectators.
- The stakes diverge sharply: PSG seeks to extend its recent trophy haul, while Marseille is chasing a first title since 2012.
- Marseille traveled with a full squad and framed the match as significant, with Roberto De Zerbi emphasizing its importance for the club’s trajectory.
- La Provence reports Kuwait paid €3.5 million to host the event, with roughly a third of that sum earmarked for each club.
- Major Marseille supporter groups are boycotting the trip over commercialization concerns, though about 80 to 100 Dubai-based OM fans plan to attend.
