Stade Rennais FC will host Paris Saint-Germain at Roazhon Park Sunday due to the poor state of the Parc des Princes pitch. The LFP's competition committee decided to reverse the PSG-Stade Rennais FC match, scheduled for Sunday, which will therefore take place in Brittany.
What happened?
The Parc des Princes pitch is particularly damaged due to successive heatwaves. Paris Saint-Germain has decided to replace its pitch before the next matches.
Why does it matter for Stade Rennais FC?
Stade Rennais FC will host PSG at Roazhon Park Sunday, which means the Breton club will have the opportunity to show its capabilities against a difficult opponent.
What comes next?
Stade Rennais FC must focus on its next match and try to win against PSG. But for this, the Breton club must be ready for anything and show good organization.
Stade Rennais FC has opened a last-minute ticket office and has urgently solicited its suppliers for Sunday. The Breton club could receive the Parisian club twice this season.
The LFP has not specified if the return match, Stade Rennais FC-PSG, scheduled for the weekend of March 6, 2027, will also be reversed. But according to Article 501 of the LFP's administrative regulations: 'In the event that the match cannot be held on a replacement stadium, the Competition Committee has the power to proceed with the inversion of the match which will therefore take place at the visiting team's stadium. This inversion will have no impact on the subsequent calendar.'
