Toulouse v Troyes postponed amid unrest and curfew in France

Toulouse’s Ligue 1 match against Troyes has been postponed because of unrest in France, with the fixture moved from Saturday, 24 October to Sunday, 25 October.

The Ligue de Football Professionnel said the change was made at the request of the Haute-Garonne prefecture.

A night-time curfew has been imposed in key areas of Haute-Garonne from Thursday to Sunday, after protests over the rising cost of living escalated into unprecedented violence in recent days and hours.

The decision follows the postponement of another French football fixture earlier this week.

On Tuesday, the Ligue de Football Professionnel announced that Montpellier’s Ligue 2 match against Red Star would not take place as scheduled on Saturday. That game was instead moved to Monday at the request of the Herault prefecture.

The Toulouse-Troyes fixture is now expected to be played on Sunday, 25 October, subject to the arrangements confirmed by the league and local authorities.
