The PSG - OL of March 13 is decisive in the race for the title of Division 1 women. OL, the winner of the last 13 editions of the championship, currently has three lengths ahead of the Parisiennes, in particular thanks to its 1-0 first leg victory in the Rhône. A victory by two goals away from PSG would allow him to regain the lead.
This Monday at the end of the day, Lyon formalized its desire to move the meeting, confirming a lobby that rustled behind the scenes and which annoys the PSG.
“The French Football Federation (FFF) plans to set the match for Saturday 13 March at 3.30 pm, without taking into account the international calendar, […] while its partner Canal + wanted this meeting to be one of the best posters of the season which could be decisive for the attribution of the title, is played on Sunday March 14 to profit from a better exposure. "
OL assure that it will not be able to play four of its internationals (Lucie Bronze, Alex Greenwood, Nikita Parris and Saki Kumagai) entered in a tournament in Dallas (United States) which will end on Wednesday evening (Thursday morning in France, taking into account the time difference).
"Olympique Lyonnais has proposed to the FFF several other dates to schedule this meeting, Saturday February 29, Monday March 16 or even inversion of two championship days that PSG has systematically refused", criticizes the Lyonnais press release.

PSG, for its part, does not want a postponement of the match. Indeed, he has already complained on several occasions of the calendar, when big matches arrived after truces, without ever having been heard. And even if many Parisian players will also be affected by the international break, he does not intend to give a gift to his great rival.
