Kheira Hamraoui, the 35-year-old midfielder for Al-Hilal SC, left Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 after two difficult years. Assaulted by several individuals, Hamraoui’s life changed in an instant. She regrets that her club didn’t support her and, worse, treated her with indifference. This led her to file a complaint. The labor court issued its ruling this Tuesday (in addition to the Kylian Mbappé case), as reported by Le Parisien.
“The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder was suing the club for psychological harassment and was seeking €3.5 million in damages. She ultimately lost her case.”
“Paris Saint-Germain acknowledges the decision of the Labor Court, which confirms that the Club acted in accordance with the law and its contractual obligations throughout the working relationship with Ms. Hamraoui. We hope that this decision will allow us to definitively close this chapter. Paris Saint-Germain continues to move forward, resolutely focused on its sporting projects and the future of its team,” the club stated in a press release, noting that it has joined the criminal proceedings as a civil party alongside its former player.
This victory is more about image and ethics than financial gain for PSG. The court ruling highlights that the club did not mistreat its player, even though she certainly experienced significant difficulties. The rights were respected, even though the relationship will remain very negative.
It is hoped that the player will not appeal so that this case can be definitively closed. There is nothing positive about seeing legal battles drag on.
