Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Monaco midfielder Mohamed Camara was given a four-game suspension by the French league after covering up an anti-homophobia message on the team\u2019s shirt during the club’s final league game of the season.<\/b><\/p>\n

The French league’s disciplinary committee said in a statement late Thursday (May 30) that it sanctioned the Mali international for his refusal to \u201ccarry out one or more actions to raise awareness of the fight against homophobia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The French league staged its annual campaign against discrimination during the weekend\u2019s final round with each team wearing a badge featuring the word \u201chomophobia\u201d crossed out. Camara taped over the badge during his team\u2019s 4-0 win over Nantes, and also skipped the pre-match group photo where all players stood before a banner with the same message.<\/p>\n

French Sports Minister Ame\u0301lie Oude\u0301a-Caste\u0301ra called Camara\u2019s actions \u201cunacceptable\u201d and called for \u201cfirm sanctions\u201d against both the player and the club.<\/p>\n

Monaco coach Adi Hu\u0308tter said after the game that the club supports the league\u2019s initiative and that Camara\u2019s actions were \u201ca personal choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was the fourth consecutive season that professional clubs in France had been invited to use rainbow-colored numbers, armbands or patches on their shirts to support the LGBTQ movement. Each year, similar controversies arise.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Senegalese-born Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye, then playing for PSG, refused to participate in a game requiring players to wear shirts with rainbow-colored numbers. Senegal\u2019s President Macky Sall publicly supported Gueye, stating \u201chis religious convictions must be respected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, Nantes fined Egyptian striker Mostafa Mohamed for similar reasons. Mohamed again did not play in Sunday\u2019s game. Camara also did not play in the equivalent game last season.<\/p>\n
