Following the events that occurred last Sunday, we firmly condemn the acts of violence that targeted the players as well as the Sporting Director of OGC Nice, and we express our full support for all those affected.

I reaffirm INEOS’s strong commitment to the club, express my support for the President of OGC Nice, and renew my confidence in all of the club’s services as well as its sporting and administrative teams.

It is now required that all communications from the club’s various spokespersons be guided by the best interests of the OGC Nice institution, with consistent attention paid to maintaining unity and cohesion across all parts of the club. It is essential that all energies be fully focused on the pitch and on the important sporting challenges ahead.
