From Canada to Israel, via Africa and China, the Professional Football League (LFP) has decided to export the Champions Trophy outside the borders of France in recent years. One exception: in 2020, PSG faced OM in Lens, due to Covid. This year, the duel between the French champion and the holder of the Coupe de France should have taken place in Thailand. The organizer finally gave in. The meeting will however take place at the start of next year, probably on January 3, 2024. It remains to be seen where Paris-SG will challenge Toulouse FC.
According to information from L’Équipe, it will perhaps be in Saudi Arabia. In fact, it will “probably” be in Saudi Arabia, as the sports daily reports, with Qatar as plan B. One thing is certain: “the discussions have entered the home stretch.” Note that Morocco was also one of the options considered by the authorities. Crowned 11 times, PSG is the record club for titles in the Champions Trophy.
