Toulouse’s home Ligue 1 fixture against Troyes has been postponed from Saturday to Sunday at the request of the local prefecture, the French league’s governing body LFP said on Wednesday.
France had some of its worst unrest in years this month, with thousands of people arrested and shops looted or damaged during protests over high prices and declining public services.
Following the protests, Toulouse imposed an overnight curfew in parts of the city, which is set to end on Sunday.

On Monday, Ligue 1 clubs Olympique de Marseille and Lille said their official stores were looted during the unrest.
