French sports minister says football violence must end as part of a global response
December 5 – France’s sports minister has called for “a global and extraordinarily determined response” to violence in football after the death of a Nantes supporter over the weekend.
Amelie Oudea-Castera told a French radio station said preventing fans from traveling to high-risk away matches could form part of the solution.
“For the time being we have to focus on fans’ travels,” she said. “It’s essential that we now return to a less violent situation…we need a global and extraordinarily determined response.”
The Nantes supporter was killed on Saturday following a fight between fans that took place before the club’s 1-0 win over Nice in the latest outbreak of violence to hit the French game this season.
