“It all started in the early 90s,” says Armand Ossey. “I was only a teenager at the time, but like almost all my teammates we saw this take over our football.”
Born in Libreville, Gabon’s capital, Ossey – a footballer who went on to play for Grenoble and Rouen in France and Moreirense in Portugal – is one of the few players in Gabon to have spoken publicly about allegations of sexual abuse in football, a subject which he describes as “absolute taboo”.
