Why PSG-Nice in the Coupe de France was postponed for two weeks
While OL-Strasbourg, Rouen-Valencianes and Le Puy-Rance will be played between February 27 and 29, the PSG-Nice poster has been postponed until March 13. A decision that the French Football Federation explains in particular by the “European calendar” of the capital club, which faces Real Sociedad on March 5 for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
