At the end of the meeting between the management of the club and the leaders of the CUP, the CUP board decided the total cessation of our activities including hand and women until further notice, "explains the text of the Parisian Ultras, who will "no longer be present at the Parc des Princes or traveling". "The latest events and the state of our common relations with the management lead us to believe that this is the best and only solution likely to preserve a common future," continued the Ultras.
The ultras accuse PSG of having cancelled their 450 tickets in Troyes
The ultras accuse PSG of having cancelled their 450 tickets (out of 900 in total for Paris fans) for the trip to Troyes on Sunday, where Paris won 3-1. A good part of them had still made the trip but remained blocked at the toll booth or in front of the Stade de l'Aube, supervised by the police.

The situation that we consider extremely serious in several respects must not be underestimated and we do not intend to compromise on our freedoms, "added the CUP: "We are waiting for clear answers from the club on several points in order to possibly review our positions."
PSG takes note of this decision and intends to continue to discuss, we learned from a source close to the club. Last week, the anger of PSG fans led by the Ultras escalated after the defeat against Lorient, to a level not seen since Qatar bought the club in 2011, pushing some to come and show their anger even outside Neymar's home.
Security reinforced by PSG
Before that, the tension had already been palpable in front of the Factory, the headquarters of PSG in Boulogne-Billancourt, where several hundred supporters had gathered last Wednesday, with banners and smoke. A rare scene since the purchase in 2011 by the QSI fund but which had already occurred in 2019 when there was friction between the CUP and the club's security company about new security measures taken at the Parc des Princes, recall two connoisseurs of the mysteries of PSG. Security has been reinforced in front of Neymar's home but also at Camp des Loges, PSG's training center, and in front of the homes of other players targeted by insults from fans, Marco Verratti, Leo Messi and coach Christophe Galtier.
