- The LFP announced on Wednesday that the Ligue1 match between Toulouse and Troyes, originally scheduled for Saturday, is moved to Sunday, October 25 at 5:15 PM at the request of the Haute-Garonne Prefecture.
- France has faced some of its worst unrest in years this month, with protests over high prices and declining public services prompting looting at official stores of Lille and Marseille.
- "Although not considered high-risk, organising an event with such a large turnout requires the deployment of internal security forces and municipal police personnel," the Haute-Garonne Prefecture said.
- On Tuesday, the Ligue match between Montpellier and Paris-based Red Star was moved to Monday, while a rugby match between Toulouse and Perpignan remains scheduled for Saturday.
- Authorities have ordered partial curfews in parts of Paris and other cities, including Toulouse, to prevent further violence, with measures in Toulouse set to end on Sunday.
