Recording Senators Michel Savin and Laurent Lafon
Podcast for the French Senate’s official communication.
On June 10, 2025, the Senate passed a law that could significantly transform professional sports in France — particularly football.
Fighting piracy, establishing new governance for professional football — the bill is ambitious. But before reaching that stage, two senators, Laurent Lafon and Michel Savin, carried out an in-depth investigation.
For several months, they interviewed key football stakeholders, analyzed confidential documents, and went into the field to understand what was going wrong in French football’s organization.
Where did this investigation begin? What happened behind the scenes? And above all, what concrete changes will this law bring to sports in France?
For the first time, Senators Laurent Lafon and Michel Savin tell the full story in a podcast, revealing the behind-the-scenes work that led to the law passed on June 10, 2025, on the organization, management, and financing of professional sport — a concrete example of parliamentary work in action.
