While sports channels are focusing on the professional aspects, Varzesh 3 highlights the connections between the players, noting that they are "rivals today, friends tomorrow" as many of them will play alongside each other in the upcoming 2026 World Cup tournament. Akharin Khabar notes that the clubs have released official posters for the match, and that in Paris, the occasion was marked by illuminating the Eiffel Tower in the Parisian club's colors.

Alongside the celebrations, reports of high tension have been recorded in the French capital. According to Sputnik Afghanistan – a channel identified with international coverage with an emphasis on security and public order events – business owners in Paris have begun "boarding up storefronts" for fear of riots, looting, and plunder after the final whistle, regardless of the match outcome.
