The Professional Football League (LFP) announced Thursday, February 27, having “withdrawn” from its legal proceedings in summary proceedings after the payment by the French Ligue 1 broadcaster Dazn of its January due in the “framework of mediation”. “A first agreement was reached under which, Dazn having sold the deadline of January 2025 (35 million euros, editor’s note), the LFP withdrawn from the procedure of summary proceedings which it had initiated” before the Paris economic activity court, said a statement, which Dazn also sent. “The discussions continue to try to find an agreement on all the difficulties encountered between the LFP and Dazn,” add the two parties. However, they do not explicitly evoke the parallel procedure on the substance started by Dazn, which claims 573 million euros from the LFP for “deception on the goods” and “observed failure”. DAZN has been complaining for several weeks for difficult operating conditions linked to hacking and the lack of cooperation of certain clubs to enhance the “Ligue 1 product”.
