PARIS: Repeated crowd problems in Ligue 1 are putting the future of French soccer at risk, French sports minister Roxana Maracineanu said after Sunday's game between Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique Marseille was abandoned due to fan violence.
The stadium announcer initially said the match would restart, following a decision made by local Lyon authorities. This was criticised by the French League , which called for an emergency meeting of its disciplinary commission on Monday. "They have to come to an agreement, this kind of problem is for the League to solve," Maracineanu told France Info radio on Monday, her office later telling Reuters the sports and interior ministries would meet over the matter on Tuesday.Ligue 1 has been marred by fan violence this season.
The northern derby between RC Lens and Lille was hit by crowd problems in September, with the start of the second half delayed after rival fans threw objects at each other before people ran on to the pitch, prompting riot police and stewards to intervene.Maracineanu said the incidents were a threat to French professional soccer's finances.
