Paris Saint-Germain will host AS Roma on November 25 at 9:00 PM at the Parc des Princes, as part of the fifth matchday of the Champions League league phase. According to RMC Sport, this fixture has been classified as “very high risk,” with the away section capacity reduced to 1,500 seats.
Reduced away section by order of French authorities
“While the away section at PSG’s stadium can typically accommodate between 2,000 and 2,300 supporters—depending on the match—its capacity for the visiting Italian fans will be capped at 1,500, following an order from the Paris Police Prefecture and the National Division for the Fight Against Hooliganism (DNLH).”
According to reports, authorities fear potential tensions stemming from the close ties between certain Paris Saint-Germain supporters and those of Napoli. The reduction of the away section is therefore a preventive measure. One detail remains to be clarified: UEFA has yet to weigh in on the situation, even though its regulations stipulate that 5% of a stadium’s total capacity must be reserved for visiting supporters.
