PARIS (AP) - Amateur soccer club was banned from the French amateur league on Wednesday after refusing to play a match against a gay team.

Last week, Paris Foot Gay said its members were victims of homophobia when Creteil Bebel, a team of Muslim players, refused to play them this month.

The French amateur league said it excluded Creteil for "refusing the match on discriminatory grounds."
