PSG ultras suspend activities after meeting with club

The tension between the Paris Saint-Germain ultras and the management continues to grow, in the wake of protests outside the club’s headquarters last week which culminated in a group of fans going to Neymar’s house to call for the Brazilian forward to leave.

Although the head of the Collectif Ultras Paris, Romain Mabille, had expressed his disapproval towards going to players’ houses, the group as a whole was sanctioned by the league leaders. This took effect on Sunday, when the tickets allocated to the CUP for the trip to Troyes were cancelled. At the start of the week, the CUP indicated that a meeting would be taking place on Tuesday with the club.

Today, the day after the meeting in question, the collective have announced that they will cease all activities until further notice – including their support for the handball and women’s football teams. In the statement, the CUP indicate that they consider the situation to be “very serious” and that “we do not intend to compromise on our freedoms”. They add that they are expecting responses from the club, and that they nevertheleess wish the best for PSG’s various teams for the end of the season, regardless of what is happening in the stands.
