Paris: Paris St-Germain has been ordered to partially close a section of the Parc des Princes for their upcoming Ligue 1 match against Toulouse next month, as a consequence of homophobic chants by their fans.

The incident occurred during PSG’s 4-2 home win over Strasbourg on October 20 when the offensive slurs were made about the club and their midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) said in a statement that PSG have to close the Auteuil stand - the end behind the goal traditionally occupied by a number of the club’s ultras, BBC reports. IANS
