- Homophobic chants heard in Stade Vélodrome during Sunday's 1-2 loss; disciplinary file opened

Summary
Homophobic chants were heard in the stands during OM's 1-2 defeat to PSG on Sunday evening in Ligue 1's fifth round, prompting the opening of a disciplinary case. The referee did not interrupt play despite FIFA protocol requiring matches to be stopped for such conduct—a contrast to Lyon-Rennes the previous day, which was halted for similar behaviour.
France's sports minister Marina Ferrari had written to LFP president Vincent Labrune days before the Classique urging strict enforcement of the discrimination protocol. Last season, the disciplinary commission handed out €212,500 in fines and multiple match bans related to such incidents.
