Kheira Hamraoui, a former Paris Saint-Germain player, is claiming 3.5 million euros from the top French club. She alleges that she did not receive sufficient support and assistance after she was the victim of a violent attack with an iron bar four years ago.
Let’s go back to November 2021. After dinner with teammates, Hamraoui was dragged out of her car by two masked men and beaten several times on her legs with an iron bar. The driver of the car was Hamraoui’s then-teammate and competitor Aminata Diallo, who is said to have slowed down just before the attack.
Diallo was allegedly jealous because Hamraoui was a regular starter at PSG, and messages on WhatsApp and her computer’s search history later revealed the extent of her hatred. On 30 October 2021, a few days before the assault on 4 November, she Googled terms such as “a cocktail of dangerous drugs”. On 3 November, she searched for “breaking a kneecap”.
Together with six others, including the two masked men, Diallo was charged. However, she has not been sentenced to date due to a lack of conclusive evidence. She herself vehemently denies having anything to do with it.
The midfielder was therefore able to continue her career. After her spell in the French capital, she played for Atlético and Levante in Spain, before moving to Saudi Arabia (Al-Nassr).
But for Hamraoui, who now also plays in Saudi Arabia (Al-Hilal), the story does not end there. The player is unhappy with the role her former club PSG played in the whole affair. She claims that after the incident she was subjected to ‘moral intimidation’ by some PSG players and criticises the club’s attitude.
Hamraoui’s lawyer, Pascal-Pierre Garbarini, told the labour court in Paris that former teammates Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani, for example, refused to pass the ball to Hamraoui during matches. But the ‘bullying’ went further. Garbarini stated that Hamraoui was ‘isolated’ on the pitch, in the dressing room and on social media. ‘And what did PSG do? Absolutely nothing,’ said Garbarini.
Hamraoui is claiming €3.5 million in damages from the club for failing to fulfil its safety obligations, failing to prevent moral harassment, moral damage and loss of opportunities at the French club.
However, PSG’s lawyer argues that Hamraoui has no evidence to support her allegations of harassment and that she never raised the issue with the club’s management. A ruling in the case is expected in mid-December.
