After his departure from Olympique Lyonnais, Jean-Michel Aulas remains active in the world of football. The leader of the FFF continues to participate in the development of women’s football, the progress of which he underlines.
The French Football Federation can be relieved. A few weeks before the Women’s World Cup (July 20-August 20), the competition will be well broadcast in France. France Télévisions and M6 ended up reaching an agreement to avoid the black screen. Proof that women’s football still does not attract crowds in France. And yet, Jean-Michel Aulas does not have the same perception.

For the former president of Olympique Lyonnais, the discipline continues to develop and will eventually eclipse men’s football. ” Either way, whether we like it or not, it’s inevitable. Tomorrow, women’s football will be equal to men’s football, it can even become betterdropped the leader of the FFF in remarks granted to Stats Perform. Women’s football is an absolutely fantastic driver of development. I have this responsibility at the FFF, that of creating dominant women’s football. »
” We don’t want to be crushed by the English championship or other competitionscontinued the former boss of the Rhone club. So we are trying to create a dynamic and an autonomous model, not only in terms of conviction, but also of economic results that allow us to continue to invest. Women’s football is worth it, assures Jean-Michel Aulas, who considers it more entertaining than men’s football.
Aulas’ arguments
” It’s not marketing, it’s concrete. The effective playing time is significantly higher compared to men’s football. For what ? Because we are not trying to save time or deceive the referee. And the numbers show that athletically there will soon be no difference. While at the level of the state of mind, everything is in favor of women’s football “, compared JMA, thoroughly in its role.
