Noel Le Grat, the chairman of the French Football Federation (FFF), announced his resignation on February 28. This marked the end of his more than ten-year leadership of the group. Le Graet, whose term was set to end in 2024, announced his resignation less than a week after the French sports ministry-commissioned investigation into the FFF's management practices revealed allegations of sexual and mental harassment and determined that he was no longer qualified for the position. Vice President Phillippe Diallo temporarily took over for Le Graet.
