Two ultras supporters of the French football club OGC Nice faced a Nice court on Wednesday, accused of group violence against players Jérémie Boga and Terem Moffi. The alleged incident occurred on November 30, 2025, following a disappointing 3-1 loss to Lorient, the team's sixth defeat in a row, which heightened concerns about potential relegation to Ligue 2.
During the hearing, the two defendants, identified as Anthony D. and Mohamed C., both with prior convictions for violence, maintained their innocence. They stated they did not physically assault the football stars. Notably, neither Boga nor Moffi, the alleged victims, were present in the courtroom, and the club's official representation was also absent, leaving questions about their formal involvement as civil parties.
The atmosphere surrounding the club at the time was described as tense, with supporters reportedly exasperated by the team's poor performance. The players were returning to Nice by plane after the match when the alleged altercation took place. The court heard that the accused supporters were ultras, a segment of the fanbase known for intense support and sometimes confrontational behavior.
