The new main broadcaster of the French football championship has bet on Souleymane Diawara. For this 2025-2026 season, the Franco-Senegalese won the role of consultant.

The former Girondins de Bordeaux player was quickly thrown into the bath. Indeed, Friday evening, he was at Roazhon Park for the very first match of the new exercise, opposing the Stade Rennais and Olympique de Marseille. Its beginnings turned out to be chaotic, especially due to micro problems.

On social networks, some Internet users took the opportunity to underline its lack of preparation. “It's been 30 years that we want to have the referees in interview and Diawara asks him if there will be fresh breaks”for example quipped a user of X.

Ligue 1 +, “Souley” is “healthy”

Souleymane Diawara has been putting an end to her football career. During his last season, under the colors of the OGC Nice, he had been imprisoned in Baumettes prison in Marseille, in April 2015.

The native of Gabou had spent a month and a half in detention, as part of an investigation into a scam case of which he would have been the victim and for which he would have tried to do justice himself. Four years later, “Souley” was sentenced to complicity in vehicle extortion to 270 days of 40 euros.
