The national federation's (FFF) technical director Francois Blaquart is suspended due to a row over an alleged project to enforce racial quotas in youth academies. There is an ongoing investigation expected to be completed within 8 days. The investigation will try to find all those responsible for the absurd racial slurs against Arabs and African's playing in the national team. There were plans made to ensure that only whites would prosper in the national team and that they would do all they could to limit the development of any other players in the country's youth systems. On Thursday, French investigative website Mediapart (www.mediapart.fr), citing sources within the FFF, said Blaquart proposed to enforce racial quotas to limit the number of players of black or Arab origin in youth academies."We can mark out, in an unspoken way, a sort of quota. But it needs to remain unspoken," Blaquart was quoted as saying by Mediapart.
The independent media outlet also said that at a recent FFF meeting
the decision was made to change the criteria for players to be called up to the illustrious French youth centers. Unlike before, players will no longer solely be judged on their footballing qualities, but the FFF will also take their ethnic background into account before inviting a player to a training center
Zinedine Yazid Zidane the greatest French player of all time would be discriminated against in such plans.
Immigration will be a heated debate for the next French presidential election to be held next year
