Toulouse assures that its U19 team suffered “racist insults” from spectators in Ajaccio

What exactly happened during the U19 championship match between Gazélec Ajaccio and Toulouse Football Club (2-1), Friday at the Ange Casanova stadium in Ajaccio? The versions of the two clubs have been completely opposed since Monday. The TFC first published a statementin which he denounces “threats, verbal and physical intimidation as well as racist insults uttered from the stands of the Ange Casanova stadium against our U19 players”.

7/7 We are sad to see that the performance of our young players is sullied by a defamatory extrapolation of an incident of which they were above all the victims.

Force GFCA ????????

These supposed “unacceptable acts”, which the Toulouse club cannot imagine “going unpunished”, could push the TFC to take the matter to court. These were subsequently firmly denied by Gazélec on social networks. The Corsican club indeed regrets “serious and unfounded accusations”.

“During the match, all the members of the GFCA, players, managers and supporters, were shocked by the disrespectful and violent attitude of the TFC representatives,” continues Gazélec. None of the accusations made by TFC in its statement were reported by officials after the match. » So much so that the Ajaccian club intends to quickly file a complaint against Toulouse for slander, regarding a “defamatory extrapolation of an incident”. The case is clearly not closed.
