The French Football Federation (FFF), headed by Philippe Diallo, proposes a new governance model akin to the Premier League, where a club-owned entity will manage professional competitions, replacing the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP). This initiative aims to simplify the current multi-layered structure, enhance accountability, and ensure efficient management, as the FFF and clubs partner with private equity firm CVC Capital Partners. Diallo emphasizes the innovative nature of this proposal, which requires legislative changes and aims to revitalize professional football in France.
French football is moving towards a club-owned structure, similar to the Premier League, to improve management and efficiency in professional competitions.
Philippe Diallo describes the project as innovative and disruptive, aiming to enhance the operations of professional clubs amid current challenges.
The new structure under a club-owned entity would see the gradual phasing out of the LFP, streamlining governance and increasing transparency.
The proposal will not only transform league management but will also require legislative support to succeed, as highlighted by the upcoming Senate review.
