Travel ban for Nice supporters to the Île-de-France region
Por FactBox Admin
The Ministry of the Interior has issued a decree banning the travel of supporters of Olympique Gymnaste Club de Nice to the Île-de-France region on Sunday, August 30, 2026, the day of the match against Paris Football Club. The measure, signed on August 26, 2026, was published in the JORF No. 0200 of August 28, 2026, under reference INTD2622557A.
A Public Security Measure
The decree, issued by the Ministry of the Interior, falls within the framework of provisions to prevent public order disturbances during sporting events. It aims to regulate the travel of supporters deemed “at risk” on the occasion of a football match with high media stakes.
The measure applies on Sunday, August 30, 2026, from midnight to midnight, covering the entire day of the match, which kicks off at 3:00 PM.
Scope of the Ban
The ban concerns all travel, whether individual or collective, by any means, between the communes of the Alpes-Maritimes department and the communes of the Île-de-France region. It targets:
- any person claiming to be a supporter of OGC Nice;
- any person behaving as such, even without a declared affiliation with a supporters’ group.
The text does not distinguish between the mode of transport used; the ban applies “by any means,” whether via private vehicles, public transport, or other modes of travel.
Scope of the Decision
This decree is part of a recurring practice by French authorities, who resort to this type of preventive measure during sporting events presenting a risk of violence or incidents between supporters. Publication in the Official Journal of the French Republic makes the measure enforceable against all.
For Nice supporters wishing to travel to the Paris region this weekend, the decision implies forfeiting travel to Île-de-France on August 30, 2026, under penalty of the sanctions provided for in the event of non-compliance with the decree. The text specifies that it will be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic, in accordance with Article 2.
