DAZN Faces Legal Action for Homophobic Chants in Ligue 1 Matches

Stop Homophobie and Rouge Direct file a complaint against DAZN and the LFP after offensive chants were heard during recent football games.

Stop Homophobie and Rouge Direct have initiated legal proceedings against DAZN and the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) for failing to curb homophobic chants during matches.
Chants were reported during the Marseille-Paris and Angers-Saint-Etienne games held over the weekend of October 26-27, 2024.
The complaint accuses DAZN of broadcasting these chants, holding them accountable for inciting public hate and violence.
An earlier complaint was filed after similar incidents at a PSG-Strasbourg match on October 19, prompting an investigation by the Paris prosecutor's office.
DAZN has pledged to rigorously monitor content to prevent the spread of such offensive material on their platform.
