What if the Professional Football League was relocating the Mediapp de 2020 soap opera? It is indeed the fear of the world of French football.

Dazn, the main broadcaster of Ligue 1 this season, plans not to pay, this Friday, February 14, the fourth deadline in the amount of 50 million euros at the LFP. For good reason, the British group accuses the body of not having defended its rights enough, in particular with regard to the fight against hacking.

It must be said that the main platform holding the diffusion rights of the French championship, has long been criticized for its fairly high prices (29.99 euros per month) thus pushing many followers to choose hacking. In a study carried out by the Ipsos Institute, we also learn that 55% of viewers who looked at the classic OM-PSG last October would have done so in an illegal way.

An “urgent” situation!

In order to react to the situation, Vincent Labrune summoned a board of directors, which will be held this Wednesday at 5.30 p.m. in the LFP offices. In an email he sent to the member of the board of directors, the president of the league described the situation as ” Unfortunately urgent “ As RMC Sport indicates.

According to The teamthe president of the RC Lens, Joseph Oughourlian, would have expressed his concern to the other presidents of clubs of the French championship. If Dazn does not settle the fourth deadline, this could have serious consequences on the finances of the hexagonal clubs already in difficulty.
