## Key points

- PSG moved its match to Monday on police orders.
- The NFL says Saints-Steelers remains scheduled for Sunday.
- Macron met NFL leaders to discuss security and preparations.

## Summary

Paris Saint-Germain postponed its match against Olympique Lyonnais after police ordered it moved because security resources are stretched by protests and civil unrest. The decision has drawn attention to the NFL’s first game in France, but the league says the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers will still play as scheduled on Sunday.

The football match has been rescheduled for Monday, 26 October, at 8.30pm at the Parc des Princes. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Saints owner Gayle Benson and Steelers owner Art Rooney II met President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss game security, the Stade de France’s readiness and flag football. A protest planned for Saturday was allowed by an administrative court after organisers agreed it would remain stationary; police had cited recent clashes, looting and arson when seeking to ban it.
