Paris Saint-Germain will face Stade Rennais at Rennes on Sunday, August 23 at 8:45 PM due to the poor condition of the Parc des Princes pitch. The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) and the club decided to move the match due to safety concerns for the players.
Why the change of venue?
The recent heatwave severely damaged the Parc des Princes pitch, making it impossible to host the match under optimal conditions. The LFP and Paris Saint-Germain assessed the situation and concluded that moving the match to Rennes was the only solution to ensure player safety.
What are the consequences for the fans?
Paris Saint-Germain regrets the inconvenience caused by this change and is committed to informing ticket holders promptly about refund or exchange procedures. The club thanks Stade Rennais, the city of Rennes, and the Ille-et-Vilaine Prefecture for their cooperation.
What are the next steps for the Parc des Princes?
Paris Saint-Germain's teams have already identified a solution to replace the Parc des Princes pitch before hosting AS Monaco on September 4, 2026. The club is actively working to ensure the stadium is ready for upcoming matches.
