Two hours before each Ligue 1 match, a meeting takes place with delegates from the Professional Football League (LFP), match broadcasters and some employees of the clubs concerned. This Saturday 6 p.m. at the Toulouse Stadium, at H-2 before TFC-Rennes, the representatives of the LFP presented some information related to the coronavirus epidemic.

The pre-match protocol is modified, as has already been the case for Paris Saint-Germain-Dijon, which started at 5.30 pm The players in the match can greet each other from afar, without physical contact, and the “escort kids », The children who accompany the players when they enter the lawn, provide a reduced service: at the Stadium, they will not hold the hand of Toulousains and Rennais.

A word of apology for the mixed zone

In addition, the post-match mixed zone has lead in the wing: the players benefit from a kind of word of apology to avoid stopping in front of the press before leaving the stadium, which doesn’t was already not an obligation. This decision does not come from the LFP but from PSG. However, the other teams in Ligue 1 could quite decide to follow in the footsteps of the Parisians, which will not greatly upset most of the footballers concerned.
