Kylian Mbappé will have to wait before winning his case about his image rights with the France team.
Noël Le Graët said he met the French striker and that there would be "no change" in the image rights of the players of the France team before the World Cup-2022, Saturday in Nice after the general meeting of the French Football Federation which he chairs.
"The situation has calmed down," said Le Graët at a press conference.
I saw Mbappé alone.
Then Mbappé in Clairefontaine, within a group with which I discussed.
Then afterwards I saw all the players (…) The conclusion is that there is no change.
Until the World Cup at least.
There will be perfect equality between all players.

The president of the FFF had met Wednesday, June 1, on the sidelines of the League of Nations, a delegation of players from the France team including Kylian Mbappé, who hopes to see the agreement governing the exploitation of image rights evolve. international.
The differences between the FFF and the Parisian striker and his entourage on the subject had led to a few media firefights since March.
As a reminder, the French striker had refused to participate in a series of commercial obligations with various partner brands (Volkswagen, Uber Eats, Orange, Xbox, Coca-Cola and Konami) of the French team last March.
A refusal motivated by the desire of the world champion not to associate his name with brands to which he does not adhere, such as those that do not promote good nutrition for children.
