Overview
- Kickoff is scheduled for 19:00 CET on Ligue 1+, with the single-match final going straight to a penalty shootout if tied after 90 minutes.
- Organizers expect more than 50,000 spectators at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium despite muted local build-up and sparse traveling ultras.
- PSG are without goalkeeper Matvey Safonov due to a fractured left hand, with published probables indicating a largely full-strength squad otherwise.
- Local reporting indicates Kuwait paid about €3.5 million to host the match, with each club set to receive a little over €1 million from the deal.
- PSG enter after a dominant 2025 trophy haul, while Marseille target a first title since 2012 in a Classique that follows OM’s league win over Paris in September.
