Overview
- Fabrice Bocquet (Nice), Waldemar Kita (Nantes) and Loïc Féry (Lorient) won the three Ligue 1 seats on the LFP board, according to Le Parisien.
- Jean-Michel Roussier (Le Havre), a vocal opponent of the current leadership and in legal dispute with the LFP, was the only candidate not elected.
- With Roussier out, an effort to rally clubs for an extraordinary general assembly to vote out Vincent Labrune appears less likely under current conditions.
- The vote followed days of public attacks from Marseille owner Frank McCourt and Lens owner Joseph Oughourlian, who criticized the league’s governance and TV-rights handling.
- Labrune’s camp dismissed the criticism as a noisy minority, while LFP Media’s rise under Nicolas de Tavernost and early Ligue 1+ traction (about 600,000 week-one subscribers) continue to reshape the league’s commercial landscape.
