>> All the details here: why PSG-Nice was postponed to March 13
A particular programming that the French Football Federation explains in particular by the “European calendar” of the capital club, which faced Real Sociedad on March 5 in the round of 16 second leg (1-2) of the Champions League. But there is also a question of TV broadcasting.
France Télévisions, co-broadcaster of the competition with beIN Sports, has the number one choice in TV programming. In this case, PSG-Nice, which must be broadcast in prime time. The date of February 28 could have been chosen. But this was impossible, because France TV broadcast the final of the French women’s team in the Nations League in the same time slot. In addition, the FFF wishes to preserve the visibility of Les Bleues by not scheduling another meeting of a major competition that it is organizing at the same time.
