PSG will bear the message in their Champions League Group A match against Swedish team Malmo on Wednesday night and again on Saturday against Troyes, their first Ligue 1 home match after the attacks, reports Xinhua.
Gates will open two hours before kickoff, which is at 5 p.m. local time. A map will be published in the next few days on PSG.FR, showing fans which route to take to get to the stand where they will be seated.
The security perimeter around the Parc des Princes is set to be extended, impacting on traffic, and will be controlled by police.
PSG’s players will also abandon their habit of arriving at the stadium along the red carpet at the ground’s main entrance.
