Professional Football League publishes statement on homophobia. Director General Arnaud Rouger takes stock of the annual day against homophobia.
Several players, including several Toulouse and a Nantes, boycott the event. Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra calls on clubs to sanction players who refuse to participate in this type of initiative. The Egyptian striker Mostafa Mohamed was sanctioned "financially but not sportingly" by his club which decided to donate the sum in question to the association "SOS Homophobie"
