Blayau worked extensively in French football, first with AS Nancy and, later, with his hometown team Stade Rennais F.C., of which he was the president from 1998 to 2000. He was also treasurer of the Ligue de Football Professionnel from 2003 to 2005, and part of the organising group for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.
