OGC Nice have been hit with two matches behind closed doors at the Allianz Riviera, plus a further game suspended, after trouble against Metz.
According to L'Équipe, the LFP’s Disciplinary Commission imposed the sanction for the use and throwing of pyrotechnics, a pitch invasion and damage at the final whistle during the fixture that closed the Ligue 1 season.
As it stands, the punishment covers the second leg of their play-off against AS Saint-Étienne on 29 May and next season’s first home league match. Nice have already appealed in a bid to admit supporters for the Saint-Étienne tie.
The first leg is at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on 26 May.
Paris Saint-Germain have been ordered to close the Auteuil stand at the Parc des Princes for their first Ligue 1 home game of 2026-2027, following pyrotechnics and visual displays noted.
The case of FC Nantes, after the early pitch invasion at La Beaujoire against Toulouse, will be heard later.
One-match bans were handed to Benjamin Andre (Lille), Mahdi Camara (Stade Rennais FC), Christian Mawissa (AS Monaco) and Elye Wahi (OGC Nice) after a fifth booking or by activation of a suspended sentence.
