As confirmed by L'Équipe Football, OGC Nice will receive Le Mans on September 5. The match will be the first home game of the season with a public audience. The club will pay tribute to the victims of the 2016 attack, which resulted in 86 deaths and numerous injuries. This will be the first time the club has held a public match since the attack. The third jersey, designed specifically for this event, will be worn by the players.
The club has launched an appeal to people affected by the 2016 attack, and an email address, mongymmafamille@ogcnice.com, has been dedicated to those who want to contact the club. The heart memorial, created in 2016, will accompany the Aiglons on their jerseys and armbands. From the Nice-Lille match, scheduled for the weekend of September 19, each home game will be dedicated to the memory of one or more victims.
