Olympique de Marseille refuses to allow Qatar to appear on its jersey as part of the contract between Ligue 1 and the LFP. Daniel Riolo decided to question Pablo Longoria.

To buy the broadcast rights for a Ligue 1 match, Beinsports demanded that 20 of the 100 million euros be paid in exchange for visibility for Qatar in the 18 clubs playing the French Championship. But on the OM side, we refuse to allow this to materialize by the appearance of the name of the gas country on its jersey. A strong decision on the part of Pablo Longoria, but which still challenges Daniel Riolo. Because the RMC journalist has not forgotten, the president of Olympique de Marseille supported Vincent Labrune during the last elections and opposing this decision ratified during the sale of rights is totally paradoxical.

On social networks, Daniel Riolo points out the variable geometry attitude of the president of the Marseille club. “ OM refuses the Qatar jersey sponsor… ok fine! And will accept the signs in the stadium? Curious to see the reactions of supporters on this subject.. especially if Bein continues not to pay the bill… That OM does not want to advertise Qatar is understandable… but then why did you sign the contract? Pkoi having supported the Labrune and NAK associates on 09/10?? That is less understandable, however. », points out the RMC journalist, who campaigned for the boss of the Professional Football League to be beaten in the last elections. It is true that Pablo Longoria has always supported the president of the LFP, who will now have to deal with this sponsorship issue with Qatar.
