No great revolution at the French Football Federation. Unsurprisingly, outgoing president Noël Le Graët, the favorite, was re-elected at the head of the body for a new four-year term, this Saturday, March 13.
Patrick Troysi, the president of the Eure-et-Loir district, will run in the FFF
The 79-year-old Breton, supported by many league and district presidents, was acclaimed by the federal assembly. Major voters gave him 73.02% of the vote.
Jean-Pierre Papin on Frédéric Thiriez’s list
The former president of the Professional Football League (LFP) Frédéric Thiriez came in second with 25.11% of the vote. C’Chartres Football coach Jean-Pierre Papin, who was on his list, will therefore not join the “3F” executive committee.
Finally, the third candidate Michel Moulin brought up the rear with a very low score of 1.87%.
New aid for amateur football?
Noël Le Graët, in his pre-electoral speech, said he wanted to bring together a Comex from March 24 in order to “think about new aid to amateur clubs and in particular the smallest”. Getting out of the Covid-19 crisis will be one of the major challenges at the start of his new mandate.
