a FC Nantes player refuses to play with a rainbow flocked jersey

FC Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed refused to leave the hotel where the Nantes delegation was staying on Sunday May 14 in Toulouse, because he refuses to wear the rainbow flocked jersey to fight against homophobia to play against the TFC, learned France Bleu Loire Océan from a source familiar with the matter.

The Egyptian striker, who has scored eight goals this season in Ligue 1, is not on the match sheet with this meeting, scheduled for 3 p.m., but postponed to 4.30 p.m. due to a demining operation in the Stadium From toulouse.

The campaign concerns all Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 players

On the occasion of the annual campaign “Gays or heterosexuals, we all wear the same shirt”, all L1 and L2 players this weekend wear a flocked shirt in the colors of the rainbow, which also adorn captain’s armbands. These jerseys must then be auctioned off for the benefit of the Foot Ensemble, PanamBoyz & Girlz United and SOS Homophobia associations.

This Saturday, the Senegalese defender of Guingamp Donatien Gomis preferred to forfeit the Ligue 2 match at Sochaux so as not to participate in the campaign, according to the Breton club. Last year, the Senegalese 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Idrissa Gana Gueye, then midfielder for PSG and today at Everton, had already been strongly suspected of having withdrawn for not wearing this jersey.
