The President of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Gianni Infantino reacted on Instagram (the social network is prohibited in the Russian Federation; belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned) on the attack of Marseille fans on the Lyon bus.
“There is absolutely no place for violence in football, both on and off the field. Such events that took place in Marseille have no place in our sport and society,” he condemned the incident. The head of FIFA called on the competent authorities to ensure that appropriate measures are taken and stressed that everyone in football, without exception, must be safe.

The match between the teams in the French Championship, which was scheduled for October 29, was decided to be postponed. Marseille criticized the behavior of the club’s fans.
