JAKARTA - The prestigious Ligue 1 match between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), known as Le Classique, was postponed due to extreme weather warnings in South France.
The match was originally scheduled to take place Sunday night at Stade Vélodrome, Marseille, but local authorities activated warnings of orange weather due to heavy rains, floods and thunderstorms.
Rainfall is estimated at 70 120 mm with the peak of the storm occurring at 19.00 p.m. local time, coinciding with the kickoff schedule at 19.45 p.m.
Provence-Alpes-Crypte dAzur (PACA) province recommends that people not travel for safety.
Following up on this, Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) postponed the match.
Olympique de Marseille regrets that conditions do not allow for tonight's match, both for the players, supporters, and full visibility of the event, Marseille said.
PSG also confirmed the delay through its official social media account. The match was pushed back to Monday (22/9) at 20.00 local time at Stade Vélodrome.
However, this new schedule collides with the Ballon d'Or 2025 event at the Theater du Chatelet, Paris, which is also in the great spotlight of the world of football.
At least eight PSG players were nominated for the Ballon d'Or, including the injured Ousmane Dembele but became the winner's favorites, as well as Desire Doue, Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Fabio Ruiz, and Vitinha.
PSG coach Luis Enrique is competing in the best coaching category.
This delay came when PSG was in an impressive performance with four consecutive wins at the start of this season.
On the other hand, Marseille is still trying to stabilize in eighth place with two wins and two defeats.
There is no further certainty from the LFP and the organizers of the Ballon d'Or regarding the agenda adjustment.
