Controversy Surrounding David Wailliez: The Scandal Rocking the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Football League

The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Football League (LFNA) would have done without this story. In question, the behavior of David Wailliez, employee of the LFNA as regional technical advisor in arbitration and elected within the steering committee as representative of the referees, during a seminar organized in Soustons in the Landes with the aim of structuring the clubs in the area. Free Charente presents the facts in its daily edition. On the night of March 15, the regional technical advisor invited the project managers to continue the evening in a bar. Five out of the twenty-two present accept and head to Arroxa, a bar located in Lezo, between Irun and San Sebastián in the Spanish Basque Country. On their arrival, three of the mission leaders, young men, realize that it is a bar for prostitutes.

In their report sent to the league after the fact, they stated “having seen David Wailliez interact with one of the prostitutes in the bar, and having gone into one of the rooms to which access is not open to free movement”. Four of the five referees quickly left the scene, while the next day, Wailliez particularly embarrassed his audience by recounting his evening the day before. “In the end, €40 is not that expensive. There was a mattress and a shower”, report seven witnesses who also evoke the very insistent manner in which he wanted to return that same evening to this brothel, despite the refusals he received. Another criticism mentioned in the report. “Eleven project managers also repeatedly and insistently heard David Wailliez offer a pot of money to pay a prostitute to one of the mission managers so that he could have his first sexual experience, going so far as to specify: “we give 3€ each and that’s good”. » All these facts were therefore reported to the highest regional level, in particular to Saïd Ennjimi, former international referee and already controversial president of the Ligue Nouvelle-Aquitaine, who decided to withdraw the leadership of these project managers from David Wailliez, whom he is close to. This sanction was considered far too weak, first by Béatrice Mathieu, president of the Regional Arbitration Commission, who wanted all of the accused’s arbitration-related functions removed, but also by the 22 mission managers. The latter resigned as a unit.
