Recent protests across France which are expected to continue this weekend mean police resources cannot be allocated for the scheduled football matches.Three other matches – Paris Saint-Germain vs Montpellier, Toulouse vs Lyons and Saint-Etienne vs Marseille – have also been postponed. The decision to call off Nice’s visit to Monaco, which is known as the Derby de la Cote d’Azur, came ‘at the request of the princely government of the Principality of Monaco and in connection with the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes’, a league statement read on Twitter.
