A new president of the French Football Federation (FFF) is supposed to come out of the polls on March 13 - unless Noël Le Graët is re-elected for a fourth term.
The election campaign for the election has started.
Frédéric Thiriez, the former boss of the LFP, appears on the starting line facing the outgoing president, Noël Le Graët, and Michel Moulin.
However, it seems that Thiriez started with a nice blunder by putting Tony Parker on the list of his supporters, without the knowledge of the former basketball player.
This Thursday, the former NBA champion, president of ASVEL and very close to Jean-Michel Aulas, himself a support for Le Graët, was offended to be present on this list.
And did not fail to let it know on Twitter in a scathing denial, worded as follows: “I am surprised to learn that I am part of Frédéric Thiriez's support list for the presidency of the FFF via his website.
I strongly deny this information and I do not appreciate that my image is used without my permission!
Tony Parker writes.

In addition, Thiriez has probably put another athlete in the person Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
On the list of his supporters, which includes Yannick Noah, Ladji Doucouré, Muriel Hurtis and a number of personalities, Thiriez does indeed include the tennis player but with his name flayed in passing: "Wilfrid Tsonga".
