Following the incidents which punctuated the pre-match of the Coupe de France final between PSG and OL on Saturday (2-1), Philippe Diallo, the president of the FFF, “regrets and condemns what happened”. Present at the Fresnes toll booth, scene of a violent brawl between supporters of the two camps, the president of the “3F”, joined by RMC Sport denounces “unacceptable behavior of people who want to be supporters but whose behavior is similar to that of thugs.”
“First-hand, I was able to see the violence of a certain number of pseudo-supporters, who go to the match wearing balaclavas and belts. These objects show the intentions of these people, who claim to go to a match to support a club.continues Diallo, revolted against “pseudo supporters, who only want to fight at the first opportunity”.

Pending the results of the investigation into the incidents, the president of the federation refutes the possibility of a permanent ban on the movement of supporters. “There have been many bans on supporters in past seasons. There have been dialogues with groups of supporters to ensure that these trips can be resumed. Systematically banning travel is a form of failureexplains the person concerned. If it has to happen, it is on a case by case basis and not a general policy. We must also not deprive the real supporters, those who follow their team with passion wherever it occurs in France..»
Anxious to point out “individual responsibility of troublemakers», Diallo calls to identify “this type of individual to permanently exclude them from the stadiums”. «It is up to us, with all stakeholders, to identify individuals with unacceptable behavior and prevent them from coming to the stadium because hatred and violence have no place in our stadiums. concludes the president of the FFF.
