Corsican derby falls foul of bad weather

Corsican derby falls foul of bad weather

SC Bastia's Corsican derby with Ligue 1 debutants Gazelec Ajaccio has been called off due to strong winds.

However, local officials have rescheduled the game at the Stade Armand-Cesari to take place on Sunday at 2pm CET (1pm BST).

The build-up to the game has been dogged by suggestions that fans of both Corsican clubs would not sing La Marseillaise as a tribute to the victims of the Paris terrorist attacks last Friday. This is thought to be because many who live on the island would like independence from France.

Every Ligue 1 match this weekend will play France's national anthem in honour of those who lost their lives.
