Canal+ called to order for sponsor of Young Boys

Young Boys are not shining on the European front this season. Worse, they are last with 0 points on the clock and already eliminated from the race for the play-offs, even before the last two matches of the regular phase. As since this year no team has been drafted into the Europa League, Giorgio Contini’s men will be able, from January, to concentrate on defending their title.

What is the encrypted channel accused of? Not to have confused the sponsor of the Bernese club. The company “Plus 500” is, in fact, a company specializing in risky financial contracts and advertising this type of company is prohibited by the consumer code, on the other side of the Jura.

The DGCCRF reminded Canal + of this ban, but without yet sanctioning the broadcaster. The encrypted channel is asked to remove YB’s matches from the platform myCanal and not to allow the public to see this jersey sponsor during live matches.
