The disciplinary committee of France’s top football division has delivered its verdict on the chaotic finale at Stade de la Beaujoire. With FC Nantes already relegated to Ligue 2, ultras stormed the pitch within minutes of kick-off after learning their team’s fate had been sealed. The Commission handed down a firm closed-doors fixture as punishment for the safety breach.

Final score upheld

The match referee suspended play at 0-0, and the authorities have now confirmed that result stands for good. No points will be deducted from either side for next season’s campaigns.

The Loire stand, from which the pitch invasion originated, will remain shuttered for an additional two fixtures as part of the sanctions.

While the Canaries avoided the most severe penalty—deduction of points in Ligue 2—they will still face the most punitive measure available: a complete closure of their stadium for one league game.
