102 Roma fans arrested in Nice after a night of violence | OneFootball

The night before the Europa League match between Nice and Roma ended marred by serious clashes in the center of Nice.

The French police resolved the incidents by arresting 102 radical Roma fans. Some of them were carrying dangerous objects such as iron bars, knives, hammers, and sticks.

The incidents began around 11:00 PM in the Cours Saleya area, when a group of hooded individuals, allegedly Roma ultras, attacked the riot police. After minutes of high tension, the situation was brought under control.

Authorities are investigating whether it was a premeditated attack. It is unclear if all those arrested have been released or remain in custody. The episode once again highlights the risks of fan travel and has led to increased security for the match.
