Overview
- Organizers launched a short technical review of alternate hockey sites in Nice after Monday’s meeting, with options such as a rugby stadium now under study.
- Mayor Éric Ciotti opposes using the Allianz Riviera because a temporary cover would sideline OGC Nice from its home ground for months.
- Regional chief Renaud Muselier said a decision could come by the end of the week, following studies now under way on cost, access, and safety.
- Any switch will need sign‑off from the State, the two regions, and France’s Olympic and Paralympic committees, and the IOC has the final say on venues.
- Michel Cadot is serving as interim director general, with a permanent appointment due at an executive bureau on May 11 and a full sites map targeted by the end of June.
