In a collective appeal published this Wednesday across various media platforms, seven presidents of leading Ligue 1 football clubs, notably Olympique de Marseille (OM) and Olympique Lyonnais (OL), have called upon the French government and public authorities to implement immediate and comprehensive reforms. Their urgent plea targets the existing governance structure of French football, with a particular focus on the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP). The club leaders assert that such a radical overhaul is essential to prevent a further decline in the sport’s competitive standing and overall influence on the European stage.
