FFF Admits Error on OLPSG Goal as Ligue 1 Clubs Press for Refereeing Summit

The acknowledgment strengthens demands for a December forum to clarify VAR protocols, aiming to restore trust.

Overview

  • AS Monaco has sent a formal letter to the FFF requesting a meeting that includes club leaders, coaches and captains to improve dialogue on refereeing.
  • Refereeing director Antony Gautier has proposed a December 1 meeting between clubs and match officials, with details and participation still to be determined as two league rounds precede the date.
  • In its weekly review, the FFF said PSG’s second goal against OL should have been disallowed for a foul on Tanner Tessmann, noting VAR did not call the referee to the monitor.
  • The review upheld the decision not to award OL a penalty for an alleged handball by Ilya Zabarnyi, citing a prior foul on Warren Zaïre-Emery.
  • OL captain Corentin Tolisso has urged a broad “Grenelle” bringing captains and a club representative from each team together with referees and their superiors to foster clearer communication.
