French Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and St Etienne rescheduled for late July

League Cup final will follow a week later, said French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet

The French Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and St Etienne has been rescheduled for 24 July, the French Football Federation (FFF) said on Friday.

It will be the first official professional game in France since play was halted in March amid the Covid-19 crisis.

FFF president Noel Le Graet added that the League Cup final between PSG and Lyon, would be played a week later.

“The French Cup final will be held on the 24th and the League Cup final on the 31st,” Le Graet told the FFF assembly on Friday.

“At the moment, We’re at 5,000 [people allowed in the stands], so maybe we’ll make a request to try and get more.”

The FFF also confirmed that the 2020-21 Ligue 1 season would start on the weekend of 22 August.

PSG were crowned Ligue 1 champions this term after the season was officially ended on 30 April.
