Benfica - Nice

Kappa and OGC Nice unveil the Third « La Riviera » jersey

On the occasion of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round against Benfica, OGC Nice and Kappa unveil one of the two away kits for the 2025–2026 season: “La Riviera.” More than just a jersey, this creation embodies the elegance of the Côte d’Azur and the richness of its lifestyle.

An Invitation to Travel

Designed as a love letter to the French Riviera, this jersey draws inspiration from the landscapes that have made the region world-famous: the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea, the warm light of the South, and the gentle summer atmosphere stretching from Beaulieu to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Saint-Raphaël. These iconic and stunning places are featured in the launch video of this third kit, which comes with a full capsule collection (t-shirt, jacket, and bag) in the same azure tones.

Côte d’Azur Elegance and Refined Details

The jersey stands out with its intense blue hue and fine vertical stripes, a subtle nod to the elegance of summer suits. The terracotta-toned logos create a warm contrast, evoking the sun-drenched lands of the region. A refined polo collar and precise sleeve finishes highlight the intent to offer a piece that is as stylish in the city as it is on the pitch. On the back of the collar, the inscription La Riviera discreetly signs this exclusive model.

A Creative Collaboration

Imagined jointly by the creative teams of Kappa and OGC Nice, the “La Riviera” match kit reflects the club’s desire to showcase the diversity of its region.

While the official away kit—set to be revealed later—will emphasize Nice’s local roots, La Riviera carries the colors of a region that transcends borders: the cosmopolitan, luminous, and contrasting French Riviera.

Performance and Variations

Developed under the Kappa Authentic label (Kappa’s lifestyle brand), the “La Riviera” jersey comes in two versions :

  • KOMBAT™️ PRO: identical to the kit worn by the players during official matches,
  • KOMBAT™️ Replica: available to all fans.

Designed with KOMBAT™️ technology, it offers lightness, breathability, and freedom of movement.

Availability

The “La Riviera” jersey will be worn for the first time in an official match on August 12, 2025, during the Champions League third qualifying round second leg in Lisbon. It is available now in official OGC Nice stores, on  boutique.ogcnice.com and kappa.fr.
