The French government’s initiative for mandatory nominative ticketing for matches involving Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique de Marseille, and Olympique Lyonnais has been scaled back significantly. Initially set to apply to 29 Ligue 1 home games, the new rules will now only affect three direct confrontations between these teams. Critics, including lawyer Pierre Barthélémy, argue that the measure is largely symbolic and raises legality concerns due to procedural missteps.
