Acting President of the French Football Federation since the departure of Noël Le Graët, Philippe Diallo was elected to this position until 2024 with a huge majority.
There was not a lot of suspense this Saturday during the general assembly of the FFF, and it was with 91.26% of the votes that Philippe Diallo was elected president of the French Football Federation. Two years after joining the executive committee by being on the list of Noël Le Graët, whom he succeeded last February after various scandals, he thus becomes the new strongman of French football.
“You do me the honor of registering my name – the 13th – as president of the FFF. It is a great responsibility that I measure. In recent months, we have experienced a number of difficulties and I would like to associate all the members of the Comex with your vote, a united, supportive and competent team. In the weeks and months when things rocked, this team was able to continue to make the Federation work, work on projects and prepare for the future. Your trust gives me a lot of strength. I am ready to commit to what was started with Noël Le Graët in March 2021 and go beyond to continue the modernization of our Federation. We are turning a page and the question that may have been raised about the legitimacy of our governance is now closed. “said Philippe Diallo after his election.
