Although it is rarely mentioned, the administrative part of football is crucial to the proper functioning and, by extension, to the success of a club. But in the case of Paris Saint-Germain, it seems that it was faulty and that the athlete took a hit.
Recruited this summer, Franco-Canadian Florianne Jourde played 10 matches with her team. Seven in the league, three in the Champions League. Nothing out of the ordinary, and yet it indirectly caused PSG to lose nine points. As reported The Teamthe FFF imposed a sanction of three defeats on the green carpet on the capital club.
The reason? With her license, an international transfer certificate was required since she played in Canada before joining the Arkema Premier League. If his situation has since been regularized, it was not at the beginning.
The biggest club in Paris immediately criticized the decision in a press release: “The club contests the totally disproportionate nature of this sanction. The team is heavily sanctioned on the sporting field for a simple administrative situation which has since been regularized without difficulty by FIFA: this is a manifest injustice.“He will appeal the decision shortly, hoping to win his case.
For now, it is in any case an earthquake in French women’s football since the Parisiennes could fall to 5th place in the championship.
