Overview
- Éric Ciotti published letters to FIFA president Gianni Infantino and to FFF president Philippe Diallo asking that a minute of silence be observed before the France–Spain World Cup semi‑final on 14 July.
- Ciotti framed the request as a show of solidarity with victims and families of the 2016 Promenade des Anglais truck attack that killed 86 people and wounded more than 400.
- As of Sunday, Ciotti says he has not received a response from FIFA and has appealed to President Emmanuel Macron while the FFF is reported to support the approach to FIFA.
- Nice has its own program of commemorations, including a silent march, an interreligious ceremony and a memorial event on 14 July to be presided over by President Macron with a drone display honoring the victims.
- If FIFA approves the minute of silence, the match would become an international moment of remembrance; if not, the city’s events will remain the main public acts of commemoration for victims and survivors.
