The Classique was initially scheduled for September 21 at the Stade Velodrome but was postponed due to severe weather conditions. The LFP stated that the match was rescheduled for Monday, September 22, at 8pm, citing the severe weather forecast for the Marseille region.
The forward Ousmane Dembele, a nominee for the Ballon d'Or award, is currently out with a thigh injury and is unlikely to participate in the match against Marseille. However, he may still miss the ceremony altogether due to the conflicting schedule.
The match will be broadcast live on Ligue 1's streaming platform.
