French Prefect Bans Juventus Fans From Parts of Nice and Cap d’Ail Ahead of Monaco Match

The club urged compliance despite expressing surprise at the order’s late notice and stated rationale.

Overview

  • The ordinance applies from 18:00 on Tuesday, January 27, to 00:00 on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
  • It bars individuals identifying or behaving as Juventus supporters from circulating or gathering in specified zones of Nice and Cap d’Ail and along the A8.
  • Named areas include Promenade des Anglais, Place Masséna, Avenue Jean Médecin in Nice, and key streets, seafront spots, and the port in Cap d’Ail.
  • A parallel public alcohol restriction bans consumption, takeaway sales, and transport during the same hours, with consumption still permitted inside licensed bars and restaurants.
  • Juventus called the decision extremely late and seemingly based on past incidents, noting many supporters live or work locally, and asked fans to respect the order.
