The Midi Dispatch revealed that five Téfécé players would refuse to play this weekend, because of the rainbow jerseys worn in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 to fight against homophobia.
On the occasion of the annual campaignGay or straight, we all wear the same jersey“, all the players of L1 and L2 wear this weekend a jersey flocked with the colors of the rainbow, which also adorn the armbands of the captains. Well almost all of them. Several elements of the workforce of Téfécé would have asked not to be associated with the initiative of the LFP. La Dépêche evokes several names: those of Moussa Diarra, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Saïd Hamulic, Logan Costa and Farès Chaïbi. Logan Costa denied this information in the Parisian.
One certainty: the Senegalese defender of Guingamp Donatien Gomis, 28, had preferred to forfeit Saturday for the Ligue 2 match at Sochaux not to participate in this campaign against homophobia. The jerseys must then be auctioned off for the benefit of the Foot Ensemble, PanamBoyz & Girlz United and SOS Homophobia associations.
Last year, another Senegalese, the international Idrissa Gana Gueye, then midfielder for PSG and today at Everton, had already been strongly suspected of having withdrawn for not wearing this jersey. He had been ordered to explain himself by the National Ethics Council (CNE) of the French Football Federation (FFF), a body which nevertheless has no disciplinary power, but had received a flood of support in Senegal .
