PSG Sanctioned with Partial Stand Closure for Homophobic Chants

The French Football League has ordered a partial closure of PSG's Auteuil stand following homophobic chants during a recent match against Strasbourg.

The disciplinary committee of the French Football League has decided to partially close the Auteuil stand at Parc des Princes for one match, effective November 5.
The decision follows homophobic chants by PSG fans during a game against Strasbourg on October 19, which were aimed at Olympique de Marseille.
Despite interventions by the stadium announcer, the chants continued for around ten minutes and were echoed by a large section of the crowd.
Two ringleaders of the chants have been identified, but no arrests have been made, and PSG has reiterated its commitment to fighting discrimination.
There is ongoing debate over whether matches should be halted temporarily or stopped altogether in the event of discriminatory chants, with sports and government officials weighing in on the issue.
