Suspended seven matches by the LFP disciplinary committee this Wednesday, Youcef Atal should be away from Ligue 1 fields until December 20, 2023. According to information from L'Équipe and RMC Sport, OGC Nice will not appeal of the sanction, which comes after the sidelining of the Algerian defender decided by the Riviera club last week, “taking into account the nature of the shared publication and its seriousness”.
Targeted by a preliminary investigation for “apology of terrorism”, Atal had shared on social networks, in the middle of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, the video of a preacher asking God to send “a dark day on the Jews ". The Aiglons player, who then apologized, is now fixed on his sporting sanction, pending other possible actions against him.
