LE SCAN SPORT - Referring to the fiasco of the meeting between Lyon and Marseille on Sunday, the Minister of Sports affirmed that she no longer had confidence in football clubs on their management of supporters in the stadiums.


We should not see Roxana Maracineanu anytime soon in a Ligue 1 stadium. The Minister of Sports, interviewed on

RMC

on

Tuesday, openly pointed out the atmosphere and security in the stadiums of elite clubs.

The former swimmer illustrated her point by affirming that she prefers to take her son to attend rugby matches where the risk of overflows is almost zero rather than a football match: "

It's true that every time I go at the stadium as minister, I happily tell myself that I took my son to rugby rather than football.

It is such a shame.

"

To discover

  • Ligue 1 fixtures and results

  • League 1 standings

A great promotional campaign for the Top 14. But Maracineanu is not going to war against football as a whole. The member of the government was also keen to praise the educational values ​​of this sport for young people by declaring: "

I have my 5 year old son who plays football every Saturday, I can tell you that it is extraordinary. what we experience in a field in terms of diversity, children, this extraordinary relationship with educators.

"

Despite everything, the deleterious atmosphere sometimes reigning in the enclosures hosting high-level meetings with the presence of Ultras no longer suits him. The Olympic champion thus affirmed “

no longer trusting the relationships that clubs establish with their groups of supporters. This is where we must progress because the supporters of a club are part of the professional team and must be considered and treated, including in their abuses, first by the club in question.

A position which explains why Roxana Maracineanu prefers to go to see the matches of the French football team rather than those of the clubs of the French Championship. "

It is clear, I prefer the matches of the France team when I can afford to take my children to the matches, not those of the clubs,

”she said.

Roxana Maracineanu, who brought together the football authorities on Tuesday in Place Beauvau to discuss the incidents during the meeting between OL and OM on Sunday evening with the throwing of bottles on Dimitri Payet, had attacked in 2019 the insults uttered regularly in stadiums, especially homophobic. “

They were shouting against Marseille instead of encouraging their team. I heard horrible things about Marseille, she said. Seems it's historic, but I won't take my kids to a game like this to ask me But mom, what are they singing?

“, She lamented on France Info, referring to the Classic PSG-OM.

Some practices in too many stadiums are degrading and hateful.

It is not because they are old that these practices should continue.

Insults, homophobic in particular, are prohibited by law and would they be tolerable in the stadiums?

“, She added, inviting the referees to suspend the matches when a racist or homophobic insult came from the stands.
