**PARIS (AP)** — Paris FC is pulling out all the stops to ensure its fans don’t miss their crucial Ligue 2 match against Martigues. A win guarantees promotion to Ligue 1 and a highly anticipated derby against Paris Saint-Germain. However, due to the game’s location in Martigues (roughly 800 kilometers from Paris) and limited away tickets, the club has arranged a unique solution.

Paris FC will be broadcasting the match live on a giant screen at the Grand Rex, a legendary Paris cinema with a seating capacity of 2,700. The club announced the initiative on X (formerly Twitter), and tickets were snapped up within two hours. The historic venue, recently restored to its 1930s glory, offers a fitting atmosphere for fans to experience the potentially history-making game together.

This innovative approach reflects Paris FC’s ambitious plans following its acquisition by the Arnault family, owners of luxury conglomerate LVMH. The club aims to become a serious contender to PSG, and promotion to Ligue 1 would ignite a much-needed local rivalry for Parisian football fans.
