Bad news for football.
After reducing the elite to eighteen clubs from the 2023-2024 season, Vincent Labrune wanted to relocate the shock of the 23e Monaco-OL Ligue 1 day in Shanghai to promote and enhance French football. But to the chagrin of the president of the LFP, and to the dismay of the inhabitants of the city of the Celestial Empire, the Talent League will not drop off its suitcases in China due to “Health constraints” .

“The project is abandoned”, said the League to The team before justifying this decision: “Beyond the authorizations that should have been obtained, there are too many health constraints to go to China. But the objective of organizing matches abroad continues to help the development of Ligue 1 internationally ” .
Too bad, OL could have sent Marcelo back to a local club over a misunderstanding.
