The proxy Hudson River Derby is postponed

If you’re looking for the Ligue 1 game between Monaco and Nice that was scheduled for Friday, December 7 - stop looking: the match has been postponed.

The ongoing “yellow vest” protests against a since-cancelled fuel tax hike have raised safety concerns around France, and re-scheduling football matches is one of the consequences of the government’s attempts to restore order.

A new date for the Monaco-Nice match will be announced in due course. Fans will have to wait for the first game between teams coached by former Arsenal and France teammates Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.
