Absent during the meeting between Toulouse and FC Nantes because of the campaign against homophobia, Mostafa Mohamed explained himself on social networks. “I respect all differences. I respect all beliefs and convictions. This respect extends to others but also includes respect for my personal beliefs. Given my roots, my culture, the importance of my convictions and beliefs, it was not possible for me to participate in this campaign. I hope my decision will be respected,” the Egyptian wrote. Before him, the Toulousain Zakaria Aboukhlal had also justified his decision not to play this match, stressing that he was not “the most suitable person to participate in this campaign. »
The Minister of Sports calls for sanctions
Invited to Stade 2 on Sunday evening, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra reacted to these refusals to wear the rainbow jersey. “I deeply regret that we do not have 100% of players in France who find themselves in this message of non-discrimination. We are in a country that has always promoted respect for others, for human rights. It is essential that we can all find ourselves in such a basic message of living together, ”she said.
Insisting on the “responsibility of clubs”, the Minister of Sports called for dialogue and sanctions against these players. Several players refused to wear the rainbow jersey. In addition to Aboukhlal and Mohamed, the Guingampais Donatien Gomis and the Toulousains Moussa Diarra, Farès Chaïbi and Saïd Hamulic did not participate in the match. Last year the ex-Parisian Idrissa Gueye also made this choice.
