Paris St Germain's first home league game since one of their fans was shot dead by a policeman has been moved from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon for security reasons.

The French Professional Football League (LFP) said on Monday that PSG's Ligue 1 match against Nice at Parc des Princes, initially scheduled for Saturday at 1900 GMT, will kick off on Sunday at 1600 GMT.

A policeman shot dead 25-year-old Julien Quemener and injured another fan while under attack from supporters after PSG's 4-2 UEFA Cup defeat by Hapoel Tel Aviv on Nov. 23.

Witnesses said the policeman opened fire on a mob of PSG fans who were chasing a Jewish supporter of Israeli team Hapoel outside Parc des Princes.



The fan's death triggered a nationwide debate about how to rid soccer of violence and racism in France.

PSG should have since hosted Toulouse in Ligue 1 but that game was postponed for security reasons. No new date has been set yet.

The Boulogne Kop, an area of the Parc des Princes where PSG's most extreme fans traditionally assemble, has been closed on police orders until further notice.

LFP said they had decided to move the game against Nice to Sunday after being asked to do so by police.

PSG, experiencing their worst start to a season, dropped to 15th in the 20-strong league after a 3-1 defeat at leaders Olympique Lyon on Sunday. The club have been troubled by hooliganism for years.
