OM is subject to a suspended match behind closed doors
According to our information, the commission will also examine the songs deemed homophobic heard that evening at the Vélodrome and which had forced the delegates and the referee Clément Turpin to ask the speaker to launch an appeal to the public to stop these songs under penalty of a end of the meeting. The report does not specify the nature of the incriminated songs. The singing stopped immediately.
As a reminder, the Vélodrome received a suspended match behind closed doors after the projectile received by a DAZN journalist during the Ligue 1 match, OM-Auxerre (1-3). Nothing indicates at the moment that there is a risk that this reprieve will be revoked but the Marseille club will prepare its defense also on this issue.
