Downpour postpones Marseille vs PSG Velodrome clash

Regional authorities canceled the highly anticipated clash between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain hours before kickoff Sunday. Georges-Francois Leclerc, prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhone department, cited severe weather conditions as the primary reason for the decision. Meteorologists predicted heavy storms would bring dangerous rainfall and urban flooding risks around the Stade Velodrome. The 65,000-seat venue was set to host one of France's most watched football fixtures. Officials have not announced a rescheduled date for the postponed Ligue 1 encounter.
