Series of image rights in the France team, the epilogue. The French Football Federation (FFF) reported this Monday evening that a “new agreement has been agreed” with the players of the France team. “It reflects a common vision between the players and the Federation around the values of the French Team and the importance of its influence in the service of the development of the practice of football in France,” we add. Remember that the players, Kylian Mbappé in the lead, have been calling for the review of this agreement for many months. The captain of the Blues had even refused for a time to participate in the pre-World Cup marketing operations organized last September in Clairefontaine. The FFF, led by Noël Le Graët at that time, had folded during the day and had “committed to revising, as quickly as possible, the convention inherent to image rights which binds it to its players in selection” . It’s done.
The “3F” further explains that “this new framework will allow a balanced and clear relationship with regard to the management of the image rights of the Team and the players who compose it and will establish a concerted framework for the evolution and monitoring of the implementation of the Convention. Thus, the relationship of trust and constructive exchanges that presided over the negotiation of this Agreement will be continued”. And added that all parties, President Diallo and the players, “are delighted that this Convention perfectly reflects a common state of mind: the common desire, around the French Team, to serve missions of interest general which are at the heart of the federal associative project and the commitment of the players, while respecting the individual rights of each person. In short, all is well that ends well.
In a statement sent by the Fédé, Philippe Diallo would like to “welcome the spirit of responsibility of the players, the quality of our exchanges and the climate of trust in which they took place. The players of the French team, in particular captain Kylian Mbappé and vice-captain Antoine Griezmann, are perfectly aware of the role that is theirs in the selection and that they play for the influence of French football. It is under these conditions that we were able to find a compromise which takes into account the legitimate requests for development that they had formulated and which preserves the interests of the Federation and its partners. This agreement is extremely important for the FFF and French football. We are all moving hand in hand towards the Euro, in a climate of trust and transparency, and I am delighted about it,” indicates the successor of Noël Le Graët, in position at the head of the body since the month of last June.
