The meeting scheduled Thursday at the Professional Football League (LFP) between representatives of supporters and associations against homophobia has been postponed, was learned Monday from several participants.
"The meeting has been postponed at the request of the National Association of supporters," says one to the League. It proposes that the meeting be held on September 11 afternoon at its premises in Paris.
"The whole thing is that it takes place"
The information, unveiled by the sports daily L'Equipe , was confirmed by a member of the ANS and Bertrand Lambert, president of PanamBoyz & Girlz, a club fighting against discrimination in football, including homophobia. The report was requested by the ANS because "they have their general meeting on September 7 and they prefer to hold their AG before," says Bertrand Lambert. "It's not a problem for us if the meeting is to take place a few days later, the whole thing is that it takes place," he said.
A standoff has been going on for several weeks between authorities and groups of supporters of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, accused of homophobia in the stadiums because of songs insulting the League.
