This is a historic turning point in relations between PSG and its ultras. Never had the club yielded to this point to the grievances of supporters who demanded the resignation of the leaders, no later than two weeks ago. After a meeting on Tuesday, the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) announced on Wednesday that it had won its case on two essential points: the design of the jersey and the modification of the prices of the ticket resale platform on the Auteuil grandstand side. “We are able to confirm that the Hechter jersey will be back for the 2024/2025 season, and its permanent return is in the pipeline, we continue to work on it”, explains the CUP in a press release before congratulating itself. the revision of the Ticket Place system for the Virage Auteuil which, according to the organization, will allow “to perpetuate a popular forum, accessible to Parisian fans. »
These advances prompted them to lift their strike movement of May 10 and to encourage the club again this Wednesday evening at the Coubertin stadium (Paris 16th) in the quarter-finals of the Handball Champions League where PSG faced the Germans from Kiel.
They will therefore also be present on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes to support the women’s team against Lyon, decisive in the race for the title. And they should also give voice on June 3, still at the Park, if Kylian Mbappé and his partners celebrate the club’s 11th French championship title.
In a press release, the club tried to justify this unexpected rapprochement when it had so far been very firm in its relations with the ultras. “PSG believes that the supporters are the foundation of the Club, supporting them in good and bad times. Following recent meetings, several proposals are being developed to make the PSG supporters’ experience livelier, more inclusive and more collective. »
Not sure that this outstretched hand to the supporters will be well received by the players when one of their own, Neymar, was intimidated by around thirty ultras who came to his home to ask him to leave the club. It will now be necessary to see if this backpedaling also applies to the other demands of the CUP published on May 3: the abandonment of the plan to take over the Stade de France, an “ambitious and coherent recruitment”, “get rid of parasitic players”, integrate the elders in the organization chart… Complaints which, for the most part, were not admissible according to the leaders until a short time ago. After opening the door on the Hechter jersey and the redesign of Ticket place to buy social peace, nothing can be ruled out in the future.
