The Disciplinary Commission delivered its verdict this Wednesday evening regarding the homophobic chants sung during the L1 match between Rennes and Nantes.

1er Last October, Stade Rennais welcomed FC Nantes to Roazhon Park, with special treatment reserved for Matthis Abline, the former member of the house loaned to the Canaries for the season and targeted by homophobic chants.

Meeting this Wednesday to study this file and the excesses generally observed in Rennes that day, the LFP Disciplinary Commission imposed a fine of 70,000 euros on the Breton club, more for the massive use of pyrotechnic devices than for the objectionable songs mentioned above.

According to the LFP, the homophobic insults were quickly dried up, hissed by part of the Rennes public – a mitigating circumstance for the disciplinary body which a few days earlier had sanctioned the Auteuil stand at the Parc des Princes in camera for homophobic chants heard for a long time on the sidelines of the Classic between PSG and OM.
