The strange case of the football match between top European teams, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which it was announced in early May would take place in Macau on July 27, has finally been confirmed by local authorities.
Earlier, the Sports Bureau (ID) said they had not authorized the match, as they were unaware of any request for the rental of the Macau Taipa Olympic Sports Center.
Now, according to an ID spokesperson, the bureau has finally allocated the stadium for the date.
“We have leased the stadium to the organizers [of the event] but all the operations such as ticketing, marketing [and others] are the full responsibility of the organizer,” the ID said in a statement to the Times.
Such an acknowledgment puts an end to the doubts about the match that had been announced in early May by the two teams as part of the teams’ annual pre-season tours.
According to a statement from PSG at the time of the announcement, the match will also be part of the celebrations of the 20th Anniversary of the Macau Special Administrative Region, as well as the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France.
According to media sources, tickets for the match will go on sale on Monday, July 8.
