The Disciplinary Commission of the FFF, meeting urgently on Monday, decided to "launch the investigation", three days after the violence which occurred in the stands of the Charléty stadium, around the Lyon parking lot.

She will hear the parties on Monday, December 27 and render her decisions the next day, she said.

This will include deciding the fate of the match, interrupted at half-time with a score of 1-1, while the round of 16 is scheduled for January 2 and 3, 2022, and sanctioning the club (s). found to be at fault during this evening.

Smoke had been launched and fights had broken out in the stands, leading to crowd movements, the deployment of the police, and causing two wounded but no arrest.

An investigation for willful violence within a sports arena resulting in incapacity for work of less than or equal to eight days has been opened.

According to a source familiar with the matter, "the Paris SG ultras could be identified on the videos" of the incidents, while the Lyon ultras "wanted to do battle at Gare de Lyon" upon their arrival in the capital.

Paris FC on Sunday called for "radical measures" and promised legal action, while OL have already announced that they will ban their groups of supporters from traveling to away matches.

Thursday, an interministerial meeting had given birth to measures to fight against violence in the stadiums, after multiple incidents since the start of the season, such as the final stoppage of a match if a player or the referee is attacked, or even the ban on plastic bottles on July 1, 2022.
