Nice and FC Metz met at Allianz Riviera on Sunday, 17 May 2026, in the 2025-26 Ligue 1 final day — a fixture with extraordinary contextual contrasts. Nice, who despite a difficult Ligue 1 season that included the division’s longest losing run of six consecutive matches had reached the Coupe de France Final against Lens on 22 May 2026, hosted already-relegated Metz — the club with the division’s longest winless run of 22 consecutive matches. The contrast between a cup finalist completing their domestic season and a relegated club’s farewell to Ligue 1 gave the Allianz Riviera fixture a particularly distinctive emotional atmosphere.
Allianz Riviera, Nice’s 35,624-capacity home on the French Riviera, hosted a final-day encounter where the home club’s Coupe de France Final preparations and Metz’s relegation completion created one of Ligue 1’s more dramatically contrasting final-day occasions. Five days later, Nice would face Lens at Stade de France in the Coupe de France Final.
