Freshly re-elected as head of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo has not avoided the delicate situation in his area of expertise. “ Professional football is experiencing a crisis and deserves the full attention of the FFF. From mid-January, I will get closer to my counterpart in the League (Vincent Labrune) to bring together all the players in professional football “, declared the boss of the FFF on Saturday, quoted by RMC Sport.
Philippe Diallo will certainly not fail to discuss the case of the Bundesliga with the president of the Professional Football League (LFP). The leaders of German football sleep rather well. They have just sold the broadcast rights for 4.484 billion euros over four years, from 2025 to 2029. This represents an increase of around twenty million euros per season compared to the current contract: 4.80 billion (2021 -2025).
Germans twice as rich
In France, the LFP was satisfied with around 500 million euros per year, paid by the broadcasters DAZN And beIN Sports over the period 2024-2029, compared to more than 1.1 billion euros per season for the Bundesliga. With this windfall, German clubs will continue to structure themselves and prosper. Their counterparts in France, for the most part, are first thinking of finishing the season in balance under the permanent and rigorous supervision of the DNCG.
