A Ligue 1 clash between Thierry Henry's Monaco and local rivals Nice has been postponed, the French league (LFP) said on Thursday, amid fears of another weekend of violent "yellow vest" protests in France over rising living costs.
The LFP said the game at the Stade Louis II had been called off following a request by the government in the Mediterranean principality, "in collaboration" with authorities in the neighbouring French Alpes-Maritimes prefecture, which includes Nice.
The announcement comes after Paris Saint-Germain's game against Montpellier and Lyon's trip to Toulouse — scheduled for Saturday — were both postponed due to security concerns.
The Cote d'Azur derby was due to see Monaco take on a Nice side coached by Patrick Vieira, Henry's former teammate at Arsenal and the French national side.
