As a tribute to the victims of the national tragedy that occurred during the French Cup match played at the Armand-Cesari stadium in Furiani on 5 May 1992, no match or sporting event organised as part of or in conjunction with the French professional first and second division football championships, the French Football Cup or the Champions Trophy will be played on 5 May. At all matches or sporting events between amateur and professional clubs, excluding those mentioned in the first sentence of this paragraph, organised by the French Football Federation, a minute’s silence is observed.
Every 5 May, during official football matches in amateur leagues, each player of both teams and the members of the refereeing body wear a black armband.
