“No match on May 5” is a collective that has come together for years to request the sanctification of this day for football, in respect of the many victims of the Furiani disaster, May 5, 1992. As a reminder, while a semi-final of the French Cup was to be played between SC Bastia and Olympique de Marseille, a platform set up for the occasion collapsed, killing nearly 2,400 victims, including 19 dead.
A trauma for the two clubs which has been minimized for many years by the President of the League, Frédéric Thiriez. Who thought in particular in 2013 to satisfy everyone by bringing the two clubs to meet on this date, ignoring the respect of the victims testified for example across the Channel with the commemoration of the drama of Hillsborough.
But the law has now been passed by the National Assembly, almost unanimously, as you can see in the tweet below. It now remains for the Senate to vote on the conformity of the law so that it can be implemented next season.
