French soccer rivals Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille will play both their games this season without visiting fans.

The French soccer league said Thursday it made the decision because of security concerns. Both games last season were marred by violence, including the death of one PSG fan.

No visiting Marseille fans will be allowed inside Parc des Princes on Nov. 7. No PSG fans will be at Stade Velodrome on March 19.
