On 10 September 2020, Vincent Labrune was elected head of the French Professional Football League (LFP). He was ahead of Michel Denisot, long announced as the big favourite to succeed Nathalie Boy de la Tour.
The election of Vincent Labrune as President of the LFP marks a new period in the governance of French professional football.
