Lens supporters barred from travelling to Lille for northern derby

Lens supporters have been barred from travelling to Lille for the northern derby.

The ban was issued by the prefect of the Nord department in France.

Their own club had also prohibited them from attending, though no further details are given.

The match is scheduled for Friday at 21:05 and is part of the ninth round of Ligue 1.

The order means Lens fans cannot travel to support their team at the derby in Lille.

No further steps or changes are stated.
