Football: the women’s section of PSG affected by a history of aggression between teammates

It’s a story that Paris Saint-Germain would have liked to do without. Aminata Diallo, a club player, was arrested at her home and taken into police custody. She is suspected of involvement in the assault on Kheira Hamraoui, one of her teammates in club and in the France team. The assault occurred on the evening of November 4, in Chatou, in the Yvelines. After having dinner in Paris, the two women are stopped by car, and Kheira Hamraoui receives iron bar hits in the legs, requiring stitches.

Investigators are thinking of the sporting rivalry between the two women, according to several sports media. However, the two women, who play in the same position in the club and in the French team, have always shown signs of a close friendship. The announcement surprises and disappoints some fans: “The image of the team is tarnished”, said a supporter. The two sportswomen have a similar background and profile, so the announcement of the assault also surprised the club, which takes the matter seriously, condemning “with the greatest firmness the violence committed”. Aminata’s brother Diallo was also taken into police custody. He is suspected of having ordered the assault.
