FRENCH football representatives may face legal action if inquiries uphold allegations that they planned to set racial quotas at youth academies, France's sports minister said in an interview published yesterday.
French football was plunged into turmoil last week after investigative website Medipart, citing French football federation sources, said FFF technical director Francois Blaquart had proposed enforcing racial quotas to limit the number of players with dual nationalities at soccer academies. That would affect players of African or Arab origin. "If it turns out there were quotas (planned) for dual nationality players, that's a criminal offense. In that case, we'd pass the case to state prosecutors," Sports Minister Chantal Jouanno told the daily Le Parisien.
