accusations of sexual abuse at the French Football Federation

A French Football Federation (FFF) adrift, plagued by harassment, alcohol and brutal management. That’s what describe the magazine survey So Foot, published on September 8th. “You would be surprised by the number of people who have been calling me for four days off to tell me stories, each one more lunar than the other, and which will no doubt be the subject of subsequent reports in So Foot to confirm and accentuate our investigation”says Christophe Gleizes, sports journalist at So Foot.

At the heart of the scandal, a man, Noël Le Graët, 80, president of the FFF since 2011. He would have maintained a climate of moral and sexual harassment in the institution, which prompted several women to resign. Other executives, relatives of the president, are also guilty of harassment. Also in the viewfinder, the brutal management, orchestrated by a woman, Florence Hardouin. The Ministry of Sports will carry out an audit and the FFF has filed a complaint against So Foot.
