After the cancellation this summer of the Champions Trophy which was to take place on August 5 in Bangkok, Thailand, at the Rajamangala National Stadium, the LFP found a date and almost a new country to organize it. According to our information, this prestigious match between the French champion, PSG, and Toulouse, brilliant winner of the National Cup against Nantes (5-1), will take place on January 3, probably in Saudi Arabia, or in Qatar if the first option does not work. Discussions are ongoing and have entered the home stretch.
At least four million euros
In this case, the LFP hopes to recover at least the amount promised by the Thai organizer (four million euros), a record for the Champions Trophy since it was relocated. The League has also initiated proceedings against the Thai company which withdrew in order to obtain compensation.
After having traveled a lot in recent years, the Champions Trophy should therefore go to Saudi Arabia this winter. Since 2009, with the exception of the 2020 edition marked by Covid, this match which still offers a title to its winner, has gone to Canada, Tunisia, Morocco, the United States, Gabon, Austria, China and Israel without really making an impression.
