PSG Fans' Anger at the Match's Overlap with the Ballon d'Or Ceremony; A Request to Boycott the Match!

According to the  Khabar Online;  the decision to hold the Paris Saint-Germain match against Lyon on Monday night, simultaneously with the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony, has faced a sharp reaction from a group of the Parisian team's fans.

After the announcement of the new time of the match, some  fans expressed their dissatisfaction with this decision on social networks. A number have called for boycotting the match, and another group believes Paris Saint-Germain should face Lyon with its reserve team. Even the proposal to forfeit the match has been raised by some  fans.

The simultaneity of these two events is of special importance for PSG fans; because the Ballon d'Or ceremony is one of the most important events of the world football year, and this club's players have also in recent years been among the nominees and winners of individual awards.

Despite the protests, these proposals merely reflect the dissatisfaction of part of the fans and do not mean an official decision of the club to boycott the match or use a reserve lineup.
