A group of Parisian football supporters known as the CUP has announced they will challenge in court a ban that prevents them from traveling to Marseille for an upcoming match between Olympique de Marseille (OM) and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the Vélodrome stadium. The match is scheduled for Sunday at 8:45 PM, and the supporters have said they are ready to use legal action to fight the ban, which they claim has been in place for over a decade. In a statement released on Wednesday, the group said, "Eleven years of bans are enough," and expressed their intent to request the annulment of a decree issued by a regional prefect on August 28, 2026. The CUP has been banned from traveling to Marseille since 2015, and they note that Marseille supporters are similarly restricted from attending matches in Paris. The group emphasized that they are not seeking special treatment but rather the enforcement of the law and a more open dialogue with authorities. "We simply ask that the law be respected," they stated, highlighting that six different prefects have issued the bans without meaningful communication with them. The supporters feel that repeated restrictions have not led to a resolution and have instead created a cycle of exclusion without addressing the underlying issues. The ban on supporter travel is based on the authority of the interior minister, who can restrict movement if it is deemed likely to cause serious disturbances to public order. Similarly, a regional prefect can impose such restrictions under certain conditions. The CUP argues that their actions have not been shown to pose a threat to public safety and that the bans have been applied without sufficient justification or discussion. This upcoming match between OM and PSG is significant as it is a high-profile encounter in Ligue 1, but the stadium is not yet at full capacity. The CUP's legal challenge is expected to bring attention to the broader issue of how supporter travel is regulated in French football and whether current policies are fair and effective in maintaining order while respecting fans' rights.
