Two US Colomiers educators' cars burned, the club exercises its right of withdrawal

Very strange news coming from Haute-Garonne. Two cars, each belonging to an educator from the US Colomiers football school, were set on fire on the same night, from Monday October 28 to Tuesday October 29. According to initial information, the vehicles were set on fire in front of the homes of the U11 coaches, who live in two different towns, around twenty kilometers apart. The police have, for the moment, not yet established any links between the sporting activities of the two people and the arson attacks. But for many, it would be an obvious revenge. One of the two outbreaks of fire could have had much more severe consequences, according to Ouest-France, “if a member of the family had not detected the start of a fire in their garage, above which their four children were sleeping. The educators and their families are today unharmed.»

«We decided to put ourselves on standbydeclared the president of Colomiers, Florian Aït-Ali, to France Bleu Occitanie. To date, an investigation is obviously underway, but the concordance of events suggests that this could be an act born from the frustration of not seeing one's child retained during a match. Parents must understand that it is not possible to react like that. We can clearly see that there is an escalation of violence and that frustrations are becoming insurmountable. To the point that we almost had deaths! This is unacceptable“. The club, with nearly 800 members, exercised its right of withdrawal, canceling training and matches for 10 days.
