Officially: Postponement of the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Marseille Match
Local authorities in the city of Marseille announced the postponement of the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Marseille match, which was scheduled to take place this evening, Sunday, at the Velodrome Stadium, as part of the fifth round of the French league for the 2025/2026 season, due to bad weather conditions.
The match was expected to kick off at 9:45 PM Cairo and Mecca time, before the official announcement of its postponement due to anticipated weather fluctuations.
Paris Saint-Germain leads the French league standings with 12 points, while Marseille is in eighth place with 6 points.
The Governor of the Bouches-du-Rhône region confirmed that the decision to postpone was due to forecasts of heavy rainfall that could negatively affect the pitch at the Velodrome Stadium and the safety of the fans.
The postponement of the French classic comes just hours before the 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony, scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, September 22, at the Châtelet Theatre in Paris, where Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembélé is among the top candidates for the award.
Some media reports indicated that the match will take place tomorrow coinciding with the Ballon d'Or ceremony if the weather conditions improve.
