Ligue 2 match schedule adjusted after meeting between LFP, clubs, beIn Sports and supporters

Following a meeting between the Professional Football League, the clubs, beIn Sports and supporters’ representatives, adjustments were decided on Thursday, September 12 in the scheduling of Ligue 2 matches. Thus, two matches will finally be broadcast on Saturday after the decision to postpone one of the seven matches from Friday evening to Saturday, indicate the press releases from the LFP and the national supporters’ association, which franceinfo was able to consult. This announcement comes at a time when supporters are protesting against the schedule of Ligue 2 matches, many of which are scheduled during the week.

In order to allow supporters to better prepare for matches and any travel, “The announcement of the matchday schedule will take place, generally at least six weeks before the match date, instead of four weeks currently”we can read in the two press releases.

In addition, consideration is being given to submitting to a vote by the clubs a shift of Friday’s matches from 8 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. or 8:45 p.m. “so that supporters have time to get to the stadium”. There is also talk of “repatriation on Saturday of the match broadcast on Monday, whenever windows, particularly those of international matches, allow it.”

The national supporters’ association welcomes these advances which constitute “one small step” And “a beginning of understanding the main issues facing supporters”even if “These proposals remain very insufficient“. But she “would like to thank the LFP for keeping its commitment by organizing this new meeting.”
