Sunday's match between PSG and Lyon in Paris is postponed at request of police
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL is proceeding with the Steelers-Saints game in Paris on Sunday despite ongoing local unrest and periodic riots in the city.
- A PSG-Lyon soccer match scheduled for Sunday night in Paris has been postponed to Monday due to heavy impact from demonstrations near the Parc des Princes stadium.
- The Steelers-Saints game will be held at Stade de France with enhanced security, which may strain local resources and does not guarantee safe access for fans traveling to the venue.
- Moving the NFL game to one of the two NFL-ready stadiums in London is considered a safer alternative but appears unlikely at this stage since both teams are already in Paris.
- Critics suggest postponing the game to a future season when Paris is more stable to avoid potential incidents amid the city's current unrest.
