It’s a headache every year for the LFP. The French football body, which wants to promote Ligue 1, likes to organize the Champions trophy in a foreign country.
Several editions have notably taken place in Morocco, Canada, China and more recently in Israel. For the 2024/2025 season, the location is not yet known. This year, the match between PSG and Toulouse finally took place in Paris at the Parc des Princes.
While waiting for the outcome in the Coupe de France and Ligue 1 (PSG seems on course to compete once again, for the 12th in a row, in the TDC), the LFP is already working on the organization of the event. And one country is eager to host this meeting. According to information from the NCI, the Ivorian national channel, Côte d’Ivoire is officially a candidate. If this candidacy is accepted by the LFP, the match will be played in Abidjan at the Alassane Ouattara stadium in Ebimpe which recently saw the Elephants win the CAN against Nigeria in the final.
Who will be PSG’s opponent?
Barring a huge turnaround, Paris Saint-Germain will compete in the next Champions Trophy and defend its title. The capital club should be crowned champion of France in the coming days.
But who will be his opponent? At this moment, the two most likely opponents are Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco. If OL win the Coupe de France against PSG on May 25, then the Rhone club will compete in the Champions Trophy.
On the other hand, if the capital club achieves a cup-championship double, its opponent will be the one who finishes second in the Ligue 1 standings. And for the moment, second place is for AS Monaco which currently has 5 points ahead. ahead of Stade Brestois, third.
