Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) players Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, Achraf Hakimi, and Layvin Kurzawa have been handed one-match suspensions for their role in homophobic chants.
This was announced by the Ligue de Football Professionnel (IFL) on Thursday, October 5, 2023.
During last month’s Ligue 1 match against Olympique de Marseille at the Parc des Princes, PSG fans were heard celebrating with homophobic chants directed at Marseille, and reports said PSG players were also involved.
The IFL handed the players suspensions from October 10 and decided to close the Auteuil stand at the Parc des Princes for two matches, one of which was suspended.
