Agent Sonia Souid, particularly influential in women's football, accused Noël Le Graët of sexual harassment on Monday January 9 on BFMTV.

She remembered a professional meeting during which the president of the FFF made advances to her.

Noël Le Graët, 81, was already the subject of sexual harassment charges before his testimony. 

In the midst of a media storm since Sunday evening and his controversial remarks about Zinédine Zidane, Noël Le Graët is today facing new accusations of sexual harassment within the French Football Federation.

Sonia Souid, a very influential French agent in women's football, gave a damning testimony for the president of the FFF on Monday January 9 on BFMTV. 

“There is champagne, I am quite surprised but I remain stoic”

At the microphone of our colleagues, she recounted a professional meeting that went wrong with Noël Le Graët.

"I go to his apartment. When I arrive, there is champagne, I am quite surprised but I remain stoic", she begins.

"We exchange, we talk about women's football ... Except that Brigitte Henriques (note: the former vice-president of the FFF) is not coming, and moreover will never come".

"My president sees me as two breasts and an ass"

"He must be exemplary and he was not"

In tears, Sonia Souid continues: "During this meeting, he told me quite clearly that if we were closer, my ideas would materialize. In any case, he would be much more motivated to help me in this direction".

The agent then explains to take “a huge slap”.

"Because I have my president of the federation who sees me, while I feel competent, legitimate, I managed to do things, like two breasts and an ass. I was disappointed by my president. For me, it must be exemplary and it was not”, she assures.

Sonia Souid explains that the president of the FFF is "a lot into seduction".

"He is a person who is very sure of herself, who also believes that everything is allowed. When you hear her speak,

one has the impression that he is the king and that the federation is his kingdom.

But where are we?”, she is indignant. 

In another excerpt revealed by RMC Sport, Sonia Souid plays voice notes she received from Noël Le Graët.

"Sonia, I'm on my third bottle. Third. I'm waiting for you for the fourth", can we hear in one of the messages left by the president of the FFF.
