“Lifetime stadium bans are the only solution“, says Jérôme Alonzo, former footballer and consultant for franceinfo, after new incidents in the stands on Saturday during the 32nd final of French Cup between Paris FC and Olympique Lyonnais.
He recalls that the current maximum ban is 5 years. “In 2016, there were supporters of FC Metz who threw smoke bombs at Anthony Lopes, the Lyon goalkeeper. The images went around the world.

That means that in January, the guys can come back to the stadium. You imagine anyway!“, he protests.
“We must type harder, with life stadium bans, life for serious facts, as in England“, pleads the consultant.”You wanted to hit a player or throw something at a player, you leave the stadium for life“, he declares.
Jérôme Alonzo also invites French football leaders to take sides and crack down on their own supporters: “We must stop these people wanting to overprotect their club. Finally, there must be one who has the courage, once and for all, to take a little height, take responsibility and hit his club hard.“, he concludes.
