Former Paris Saint-Germain women’s captain Aminata Diallo is scheduled to stand trial on charges related to the 2021 assault on her ex-teammate, according to a court order revealed by AFP. The 31-year-old, who is also a former French international, faces charges of complicity in violence and criminal conspiracy. An investigating magistrate believes Diallo orchestrated the attack by directing the perpetrators to the location where the incident occurred. Six other individuals will also face the court, though a specific trial date has not yet been announced.

The case stems from a violent incident in November 2021, when former PSG and France star Kenza Dali Hamraoui was attacked by two masked men. The assailants struck Hamraoui on the knees with iron bars after she returned from a team dinner in a vehicle with Diallo. This brutal act marked a significant escalation in the dispute between the two players, drawing intense scrutiny to the safety and conduct within the French women’s football elite.
Legal representatives for the victim expressed relief at the procedural progress after a lengthy investigation. “After five long years of the case being investigated, it is a huge relief they have reached a conclusion and soon there will be a trial,” lawyers Julia Minkowski and Said Harir stated. The upcoming trial represents a critical juncture for both the legal system and the football community, as it seeks to establish accountability for the targeted violence that has dominated headlines since the initial incident.
