The LFP disciplinary committee, meeting this Wednesday, April 29, 2026, has delivered its verdicts, notably impacting US Boulogne CO. Boulogne defender Demba Thiam has been handed a firm two-match suspension, a decision that weakens the team for upcoming Ligue 2 BKT fixtures. This sanction will take effect from Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

Among the major decisions, Gonçalo Ramos, the Paris Saint-Germain forward, was sanctioned with a one-match firm suspension, accompanied by another suspended match. This decision follows his expulsion from the Angers pitch this weekend, after receiving two yellow cards. Pierre Lees-Melou of Paris FC also received a one-match firm suspension.

The Amiens SC case was also a hot topic at this meeting. Following incidents on Friday, April 24, 2026, during their home defeat against Montpellier Hérault SC (0-2), involving the use and throwing of pyrotechnic devices by supporters, the Stade de la Licorne will be completely closed for the next home match. Furthermore, the North stand will be closed for an additional game. The sanction applies immediately, meaning the match against Red Star, scheduled for this weekend (May 2), will be held behind closed doors.

In Ligue 1 McDonald’s, several other players were suspended for one firm match following a fifth warning or by revocation of a previous suspension. These include Kenny Lala (Stade Brestois 29), Mamadou Sangaré (RC Lens), Mario Sauer (Toulouse FC), and Adrien Thomasson (RC Lens). Yannick Cahuzac, assistant coach of FC Lorient, also received a firm match suspension.

In Ligue 2 BKT, Allan Ackra (Clermont Foot 63) received the heaviest sanction with three firm matches. Mehdi Merghem (SC Bastia) and Cazim Suljic (AS Nancy-Lorraine) were given a one-match firm suspension. Other one-match firm suspensions for a fifth warning were issued for Abdellah Baallal (Clermont Foot 63), Teddy Bouriaud (AS Nancy-Lorraine), Mory Gbane (Stade de Reims), Evans Jimmy (AS Nancy-Lorraine), and Allan Linguet (USL Dunkerque).

All these sanctions, with the exception of those for Amiens SC which are immediate, will take effect from Tuesday, May 5, 2026. These decisions by the disciplinary committee underscore the firmness of the authorities in dealing with reprehensible conduct on and off the pitch, affecting numerous French football clubs.
