French Clubs Refuse To Release African Players For AFCON Qualifiers by robosky02(m): 6:50pm On Mar 18, 2021
The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has confirmed that French clubs will bar their players from travelling for any international games outside Europe.

The decision was reached following a meeting between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs on Wednesday.

Most African countries have their top players in France and won’t have them for the final 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches.

Some of the affected footballers include Zimbabwe striker, Tino Kadewere (Lyon), Nigeria winger Moses Simon (Nantes), Benin goalkeeper Saturnin Allagbe (Dijon), Cameroon striker Karl Toko Ekambi (Lyon), Senegal forward Boulaye Dia (Reims) and DR Congo’s Gael Kakuta (Lens).

“In the absence of a ‘septaine’ exemption for foreign international players made available to their national team and in view of the response times imposed by international regulations, the clubs of Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT have decided to unanimously this Wednesday March 17, apply the Fifa circular of February 5, 2021 taking into account the many travel restrictions in the world,” LFP’s statement read in part.

All other European leagues should tow the same line so that our mumu coach will not have any choice than to look inwards to the home based players.

That decision is ill informed, if the African Nations take them up with FIFA and CAS. The French clubs can not defend their position on the matter.

FIFA has given the clubs the prerogative to do what they want, what happened to the local players? Isn’t it African Nations cup qualifiers they are coming for? Why not use home based players?

Stop exhibiting your ignorance, African Nations cup qualifier, is not World Cup qualifiers.

When did FIFA give such prerogative. Can you refer us to the documents or statement by FIFA. FIFA will always uphold the preference of the national team above the choice of the club in cases of conflict on player national callups.

There is a CHAN ANC organized by CAF for home based players.

As per the major ANC, the nation must be availed the opportunity to use their players by the club except in case of injury and the player will still need to be certified injured by the national team to allow him stay away from ANC if invited.

Do you also know that work permit renewal and award for foreign players in most of the European countries requires expected number of national caps.

France has always hated Africa.
France only takes and never gives back.
France is a pest.
France is worse than United Kingdom and China when it comes to relationship with ex colonies and Africa in general.

It does not matter whether it is World Cup Qualifier or ANC qualifier, the nations have right of first refusal, despite the clubs desires, on any of their players for any national engagement.
