The decision, requested by PSG, follows a precedent set in March when they successfully delayed a game against Nantes. The LFP accepted the request, noting it supports French clubs in Europe. In a statement, PSG welcomed the move, emphasizing the importance of strengthening French football's European presence.
Lens, however, expressed disagreement with the unanimous decision by the LFP Board but acknowledged it responsibly. The club confirmed they will communicate ticketing arrangements directly to supporters. The rescheduled fixture is set to take place between the penultimate and final gameweek of the Ligue 1 season.
