France’s top tier football clubs will go on strike at the end of November in an act of protest against the government’s plans to impose a 75 percent tax on earnings over one million euros, the country’s Union of Professional Football Clubs (UCPF) said on Thursday.
"There will be a weekend without a game at the end of the month (of November)," Jean-Pierre Louvel, the UCPF president, told a news conference. “People will be welcome in our stadiums, but there will be no games.''
The strike will affect Ligue 1 and 2 matches from November 29 to December 2.
The UCPF announced they were considering such a move earlier in the week, when they threatened to boycott this weekend’s matches.
