After Canal Plus formalized its refusal to pay the remaining TV rights to the Professional Football League (LFP) on March 30, beIN Sports, the second broadcaster of Ligue 1 and broadcaster of Ligue 2, in turn formalized his choice to do the same as the encrypted channel. These strong decisions were taken because of the financial impact linked to the coronavirus pandemic in France.
The team we learn this Wednesday evening that the LFP has mandated four presidents of clubs of the French elite (PSG, OM, Toulouse and OGC Nice) to discuss with Canal Plus about the 110 million euros not paid (the 5 April) to the residents of Ligue 1. An office of the League met in emergency this Wednesday morning and thus unanimously designated Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, Olivier Sadran and Jean-Pierre Rivère in order to try to convince Maxime Saada, the owner of the encrypted channel, not to stop payments.
