According to L'Équipe and RMC Sport, the RC Lens has decided to prevent its supporters from traveling to Lille for the Nord derby on Friday. The club will not sell tickets for the away section, as reported by Foot Mercato, which also notes the match kicks off at 20:45. The decision follows incidents involving Lens fans in recent away sections and specifically after disturbances in Bruges during a Champions League match, as reported by So Foot. Foot Mercato adds that the club cited a need to discuss with fan associations, while But Football Club mentions the club must now exchange with supporters' groups following the initial decision. Additionally, the UEFA has sanctioned Lens for the behavior of its supporters in the Champions League at Bruges, according to Foot National.
