The French Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmaninbanned the movement of fans of Paris Saint-Germain for the Ligue 1 football match against Nantes on Saturday, according to an order published Wednesday in the Official Gazette. This travel ban was justified by the “real risk of confrontation between fans of both clubs” on the occasion of the match, at the Beaujoire stadium at 9 pm
It speaks of any kind of displacement, “individual or collective.” They emphasize that the attitude of PSG fans abroad “is a frequent source of public order problems resulting from their violent behavior.” This behavior also “often” applies to FC Nantes fans.
The ministry speaks more specifically about the “relationship of hostility between the two camps” and “antagonism” that could lead to “further confrontations that make the intervention of law enforcement necessary.” In December, the Interior already banned the movement of fans in five matches on the 15th day of the Ligue 1 match, including PSG-Nantes, in the context of “exacerbation” of “increased serious” violence.
