The tragic death of Alain Orsoni
On January 12, in Corsica, 71-year-old former president of the football club "Ajaccio" Alain Orsoni was shot during his mother's funeral. The incident occurred in the village of Vero, located about 30 kilometers from Ajaccio, where the club, led by Orsoni, spent four seasons in Ligue 1.
Alain Orsoni served as president of the football club "Ajaccio" during two periods: from 2008 to 2015 and from 2022 to 2023. Besides his involvement in sports, Orsoni was also active in politics. He led the "Corsican Movement for Self-Determination," an organization considered a legal facade for the "Corsican National Liberation Front."
The situation in the football world
This incident occurred against the backdrop of serious circumstances when an instantaneous act of violence took place amid a moment of deep mourning. It is important to note that recently in Cyprus, the president of the football club "Karmiotissa" Stavros Dimoshenus was killed, highlighting the growing tensions in the world of football and around it.
"The death of Alain Orsoni was a shocking event not only for the Corsican football community but for the entire football world," said Roger Polzh.
These incidents may point to deeper social and political issues that need attention, as violence in sports can have serious consequences for its image and development. It is expected that this tragedy will prompt further discussions on safety in the sports environment and measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
