Ligue 1 bans Matic for covering LGBTQ+ logo

Date:

Serbian star Nemanja Matic has been banned for two matches for covering an LGBTQ+ campaign logo on his kit with tape.

The former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder, who now plays for Ligue 1 club Lyon, covered up the logo on his sleeve for the final game of the season.

Matic, 36, used tape to cover a rainbow coloured Ligue 1 logo on his Lyon shirt for their final day victory over Angers.

The logo was part of Ligue 1’s annual campaign against homophobia which sees every club shirt adorned with the rainbow design.
