Seven presidents of prominent Ligue 1 clubs, including Olympique de Marseille (OM) and Olympique Lyonnais (OL), have collectively called for an urgent overhaul of French football's governance. In an opinion piece published across various media outlets this Wednesday, these club leaders specifically appealed to public authorities to reform the system, highlighting the need to address issues within the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP). Their primary motivation is to prevent French football from falling behind its European counterparts and losing its competitive edge on the continental stage.
