Rennes vs. Olympiacos Europa League Match Rescheduled Amid Civil Unrest in France

UEFA has rescheduled Rennes’ home Europa League match against Olympiacos following civil unrest in France. The match was originally slated for Thursday, November 5, but unions have organized a general strike for that day, prompting large demonstrations in major cities across the country. French authorities informed UEFA that they could not guarantee adequate safety and security for the match.

The fixture has now been moved to Wednesday, November 4, at 4:30 pm. Rennes currently remains unbeaten in the Europa League, having recently drawn 2-2 against Juventus at Allianz Stadium. In Ligue 1, Franck Haise’s squad is performing exceptionally well, sitting in second place, just one point behind league leaders PSG. They will face OGC Nice away on Friday.
