Arizona Tribune - Hamraoui loses case against PSG over lack of support after attack

The case stemmed from a violent assault she suffered four years ago with the alleged complicity of a teammate.

In November 2021, Hamraoui was attacked by two masked men after returning from a team dinner in a car with teammate Aminata Diallo.

After Diallo was detained and charged with instigating the attack, Hamraoui was allegedly the victim of bullying by some of PSG's players.

Hamraoui was seeking damages from her former club, alleging a lack of support.

She claimed she was "ostracised" on the pitch, in the changing room and suffered harassment on social media.

As a result she was forced to leave the Parisian club in 2023 to join less prestigious clubs, first in Mexico and then Saudi Arabia.

Her lawyer Pascal-Pierre Garbarini told AFP she would appeal Tuesday's decision.

"The case is strong," Garbarini said.

"The labour court demonstrated a lack of understanding of the sports environment, a point I will elaborate on further and with greater precision before the judges of the Court of Appeal, who are professional magistrates."

PSG said in a statement the decision "confirms that the club acted in accordance with the law and its contractual obligations throughout the employment relationship" with Hamraoui.
