Football on the field, adult filming in the toilets. French club boasts family atmosphere, now tackles scandal
Nice in France has not had the best start to the season. However, it is now in great shape and is slowly trying to fight its way back among the top teams in Ligue 1. But apart from that, it is now dealing with a rather unprecedented scandal.
French Nice has not had the best start to the season. However, it is now in great shape and is slowly trying to fight its way back among the top teams in Ligue 1. But apart from that, it is now dealing with a rather unprecedented scandal.
Looking at the Ligue 1 table, we would now find Nice up to seventh place, but in the last 10 league rounds only two teams have done better in the top French league, Monaco and Marseille.
The traditional team would like to reach a position that guarantees qualification or participation in the European Cups this season. Already on Saturday, it will be able to fight for three more points against Reims, and if it wins, it will be the fifth win in a row.
But there are other things going on at the Cote d’Azur right now besides football. Quite bizarre and unprecedented. In January, an adult film was filmed in the sanctuary known as the Allianz Riviera. During the game. In the toilets.
This understandably infuriated the club management, as Nice is known for its family and positive atmosphere in its stadiums. And something like this is simply not in keeping with the club’s philosophy. Moreover, Nice does not want to be associated with this industry.
The filming of the erotic image was to take place on 29 January in a match against Lille. Nice won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Gaetano Laborde.
Nice has contacted the local police in this case and will do everything possible to ensure that something similar does not happen again. However, the company that runs the stadium has also lodged a complaint.
The French side is far from the first team to have something similar happen to them. In 2017, for example, an erotic film was shot at the legendary Maracana stadium in Brazil, which hosted the 2014 World Cup.
Compared to Nice, however, the events in Brazil were a bit more scandalous, as a particular couple was filmed having sex right in one of the stands.
