PSG asked the FFF for a postponement of the Round of 32 game to Monday, Jan. 23 as Paris Saint-Germain will be playing a friendly in Saudi Arabia on Jan. 19 in which Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to make his debut. The FFF accepted the request earlier this week, allowing PSG to play on Monday instead of Fri/Sat/Sun as all other teams involved in the Round of 32 games.

After the concession by the FFF, PSG will play their cup match on Monday, Jan. 23, with the kick-off scheduled to take place at 8:45 PM CEST.

Whether their opponent is Wasquehal or Pays de Cassel, they'll be the club hosting the next round's game against PSG. They will have just over a week to know they have qualified and then organize everything to host PSG, as they'll need to find a proper stadium to host the Ligue 1 behemoths considering the rules in place for French Cup games.
