The two have a history of violence and a fierce rivalry, so the authorities took the decision to impose the ban.
“The French interior ministry has decided not to allow Paris fans to travel to Marseille’s Stade Velodrome on Nov. 27 and Marseille fans to travel to Paris’s Parc des Princes for the return leg on April 7 or 8, 2012,” the French interior ministry said in a statement.
“This decision is justified by the real risks of unrest, by the dramatic incidents that surrounded the late 2009 and early 2010 matches.”
