Overview

• Météo France placed Bouches-du-Rhône and neighboring departments on orange alert from midday to midnight for heavy rain, flooding and thunderstorms with hail, strong gusts and intense lightning.
• The regional prefecture advised canceling or postponing collective events and said the match is currently maintained but subject to change if conditions worsen.
• The LFP has not ruled out postponing the 20:45 kickoff at the Vélodrome, according to reporting citing L'Équipe.
• Crisis coordination involving the prefecture, security services, league delegates and the referee is expected on Sunday before a final decision.
• Per standard protocol, the league delegate can decide before the referee’s arrival, lightning would require interruption, and play depends on the pitch remaining practicable.
