A young player attacked by a referee in the middle of a U15 match

If even the referees get involved… The derby between Blagnac FC and US Colomiers, in the suburbs of Toulouse, went very badly last Saturday. This Regional 1 match in the U15 category was not completed. On Wednesday, the Blagnac club published a press release on his Facebook accountto announce a complaint and his solidarity with one of his players, “attacked with a sideline flag by the assistant referee, adult and father of a US Colomiers player”.

The club indicates that it sent the video of the action, which it chose not to share, to the Occitanie Football League commission. According to Foot Nationalthe incident took place after the hour mark. Two young people, a Blagnacais and a Columérin, came to blows after a duel near the touchline.

It was the father of the latter who allegedly hit his opponent in the face, before the rest of the participants in the match, players and management, came to calm the game. The main referee preferred to interrupt the game, whose fate will be decided by the Occitanie League.
