It is an atrocious scene which an 8-year-old child suffered during the match between AC Ajaccio and Olympique de Marseille on June 3 during the 38th and last day of Ligue 1. The little Kenzo, suffering from he brain cancer and OM fan was invited by the ACA club to the VIP stands of the Stade François-Coty. Corsican supporters would then have entered the box occupied by him and his father and would have been beaten and thrown to the ground. A scene that outraged up to the highest level of the state, after the reaction of President Emmanuel Macron.
The scene marked the world of football and beyond. Kenzo, 8 years old and suffering from brain cancer was invited by the club from Ajaccio to watch the match against OM in the box, club of which he is a fan. Of the ” supporters » from Ajaccio then saw him in his OM jersey and went up to their dressing room to hit the father, jostle the child who hit his head violently and burned the jersey he was wearing. An act that moved even the head of state.
The Minister of Sports condemns this violence…
Reactions flowed in from all sides and especially from the side of the French government. On the sidelines of the Grenelle for employment and sports professions, the Minister of Sports, Amelie Oudea-Castera reacted to this attack: I was able to chat this morning with little Kenzo. I was able to discuss with his mother Amandine who told me of their emotion, of what happened, of the trauma that it was for their whole little family this weekend. I’m not going to go over those things at all. I come back to the fact that both clubs condemned the violence that occurred. What matters to me is that we make this little boy smile again and that all the people who were behind this absolutely unacceptable violence in different places this weekend are punished in their fair measure. »
