The 2024 Champions Trophy, between Paris Saint-Germain (French champion 2023-2024 and French Cup winner) and AS Monaco (2nd in Ligue 1), had to be postponed due to administrative problems, although it was scheduled for August 8 in Beijing. A new date and venue had to be found. According to L’Equipe, the first point has been settled, while the second is almost complete.
“ A new CA is due to take place on Monday to definitively decide on the venue.”
“There are still a few details to be finalized, but the long-running drama surrounding the 2024 Champions Trophy is drawing to a close. The Board of Directors of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), meeting on Thursday, set the date for the event: Sunday January 5.
The match between PSG and Monaco is scheduled to take place in Doha, Qatar. Although the LFP is still awaiting documents to validate this option, it appears to be on the right track. A new board meeting is due to be held on Monday to definitively decide on the venue.
According to our information, the deal is worth around 3 million euros.”
The sports newspaper is generally reliable when it comes to such matters, so we can only hope that the postponement of the Champions Trophy is finally settled. Above all, the LFP should once again ensure that it is played before the start of the season, when it has more flavor than scheduling issues.
