The coach of French RC Champigneulles’ reserve team (Meurthe-et-Moselle), Mohamed Bousbaa, has stepped down following what he describes as an Islamophobic incident. In solidarity, more than a dozen players are boycotting training sessions and matches.
The incident dates back to a tournament where Bousbaa’s wife and son, both Muslim, were served sandwiches containing pork. He claims the act was deliberate, orchestrated by club members with whom he had ongoing tensions.
«Not even a simple apology! I ordered two sandwiches from people who knew me but didn’t like me. When my wife and son took a bite, we realized they had been served pork», he told L’Est Républicain.
With the club remaining silent and taking no disciplinary action, Bousbaa decided to leave. He criticized the management for failing to address the issue, allowing it to go unresolved. In response, several players from the reserve team have stopped training and participating in official matches in protest.
