PSG 'ultras' to boycott games after unproductive meeting with club

A group of Paris Saint-Germain "ultras" say they will boycott matches after a meeting with officials failed to address concerns over the direction of the club.

"At the end of the meeting between the club's management and the leaders of the Collectif Ultras Paris, the CUP office decided to completely cease our activities," a statement released by the group said.

"We will therefore no longer be present at the Parc des Princes or on the move. The latest events at the state of our common relations with management lead us to believe that this is the best and only solution likely to preserve a common future. We are waiting for clear answers from the club on several points in order to possibly review our positions."

The group said the boycott would cover PSG's men's and women's matches.

Last week, hundreds of PSG fans protested outside the club's Boulogne-Billancourt headquarters in Paris amid growing tensions with the club's management.

Fans chanted slogans against PSG chairman and CEO Nasser Al Khelaifi, arguing that he refuses to listen to their demands. In addition, the group is opposed to PSG's bid to buy the Stade de France in the suburb of Saint-Denis instead of upgrading the Parc des Princes.
