The information was revealed on Saturday evening by The Midi Dispatch and she is sure to shake up the world of football. A year after the controversy sparked by the refusal of Parisian Idrissa Gueye to wear the flocked jersey with a rainbow number to support the LGBT cause, other Ligue 1 players oppose it.

These are, in this case, several elements of Toulouse FC, recent winner of the Coupe de France, who informed their club of their refusal to wear this jersey during the reception on Sunday (3 p.m. ) from Nantes, at the Stadium, in a remake of the final won two weeks ago at the Stade de France (5-1).

According to the regional daily, five players would have expressed the wish not to play this meeting so as not to have to put on this jersey with a number in LGBT colors, an initiative of the Professional Football League for three seasons to fight against homophobia. . It would be Zakaria Aboukhlal, Moussa Diarra, Farès Chaïbi, Logan Costa and Saïd Hamulic.

However, joined by us, the defender Logan Costa, hero of the final of the Coupe de France with a double registered, assures that it is false. He recalls that he is against homophobia and is well in the group available to his coach for the match this Sunday. In addition, according to France Bleu Loire Océan, the Egyptian striker of FC Nantes Mostafa Mohamed also refused to wear the jersey and stayed at the hotel in protest.

Saturday, the defender of Guingamp Donatien Gomis did not wish to participate in this campaign “Gays or straight, we all wear the same jersey” during a Ligue 2 match at Sochaux.
