Lens on Friday banned a number of identified fans for up to 18 months following the pitch invasion during their home derby with Lille.
The club’s general manager Arnaud Pouille told a press conference that the club had also imposed suspended sentences of up to 36 months.
“In some cases, these bans will be accompanied by a complaint to police if violent behaviour is suspected,” said the club.
At Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday, riot police intervened when Lens supporters stormed the pitch at half-time to confront Lille fans, while both sets of fans hurled seats at each other over a partition wall.
Pouille said the sanctions apply to “all the identified individuals who went on the pitch”.
So far, 17 supporters have been identified, out of more than a hundred who swarmed out of the Marek stand along the north touchline.
Lens, who went on to beat the defending Ligue 1 champions 1-0, were ordered to play two home matches pending a disciplinary hearing.
French Minister of Sports Roxana Maracineanu welcomed “the decision of the president of Lens”.
“If we need to tighten the administrative or judicial procedures, we will do it”, she told AFP.
Pouille also condemned the behaviour of Lille fans in the area for visiting fans where “80 seats were torn out, broken” and the “toilets devastated”.
He deplored “images that we had rarely seen”, believing that “these facts are more about hooliganism than fanism.”
“The fans will accept the condemnation of violence,” Pouille said. “The hardest thing is to make them understand that they cannot invade the pitch in reaction to what they see. The pitch is sacred.”
The scuffles against Lille resulted in six minor injuries and two arrests.
One of them, a 26-year-old Lille supporter, appeared in court on Monday for “violence against a person holding public authority” with a “weapon of choice”, namely “a seat that was torn off”.
At the same time, “several investigations have been initiated following the events”, including one “for provocation to hatred and display of racist or xenophobic signs”, the public prosecutor’s office in nearby Bethune indicated on Wednesday in a message to AFP.

This act followed a fight which opposed both sides in April 2019 after the Cup final and where Rennes supporters won the fight.

While 200 Nice supporters were to take place in the stands of Geoffroy-Guichard, they missed the start of the match, blocked on a motorway area by the police.
When Gouiri delivered the Gym after a quarter of an hour of play, the visiting kop remained desperately silent. And for good reason, the 200 expected Popular Sud supporters did not arrive in time to follow the start of their team’s great match. According to our information, they were blocked on a motorway rest area a few kilometers from Geoffroy-Guichard.
It was the police who would have retained the Gym fans on a rest area along the A47 between the direction of Saint-Etienne. Just before the break, in the 43rd minute of play, a handful of Nice supporters were able to take their places in the stands. An arrival that caused a stir in the stands, the supporters of the two teams having warmed themselves up by hitting the gates in particular.
The prefecture points to the “drunkenness” of some supporters, who had to turn around
The prefecture of the Loire explains in a press release the reasons which pushed to block the ultras from Nice.
“200 supporters of OGC Nice had been authorized to access the Geoffrey-Guichard stadium as part of a trip supervised by bus or minibus, and escorted to the stadium by the police, it is written. A meeting point as well as a precise and obligatory schedule had been fixed within the framework of this decree. intoxicated. In this context, the interested parties were unable to access the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium and had to turn back. in accordance with the prefectural decree “.
According to our information, the supporters who arrived at the stadium are the North Side, and are therefore not from the Popular South, which has just left and would arrive during the second half.
This Friday, Christophe Galtier urged his players not to provoke opposing supporters in the event of a goal, while incidents in Ligue 1 stadiums are increasing in recent weeks. “We must prohibit players from connecting opposing players and supporters, he said at a press conference. That’s what I say to my players: we don’t need to go and provoke anyone.”
The supporters of OGC Nice seem to be particularly watched since the incidents that broke out at the Allianz Riveira during the reception of OM on August 22. The Riviera club had received a withdrawal of one point in the standings and was inflicted three games behind closed doors.

Clash between fans interrupted Loko Sofia – Slavia at the national stadium
Lokomotiv fans Sofia and Slavia formed a scrum at the national stadium “Vasil Levski” during the match between the two teams in the ninth round of the efbet league.
The derby in the capital had to be interrupted for a few minutes as police detained the angry fans, who were aiming at objects through one of the fences between the sectors.
The provocations among the agitators led to a burst of tension in the 20 ‘, when Loko’s fans switched to Slavia.
Fans began to compete with sticks and other objects, waving their fists.
A garbage can flew to the “white” audience, and all the while the offensive chants from both sides did not stop.
Referee Dragomir Draganov stopped the game and waited for police intervention, and after some delay the match was resumed.

Palace fans criticise policing after Brighton clash
Crystal Palace fans took to social media to criticise post-match policing after a tense match against Brighton on Monday night.
The South London team played their decades old rivals Brighton & Hove Albion at Selhurst Park.
But at around 10pm, shortly after the match finished, videos shared on Twitter showed chaos unfolding at Norwood Junction station.
Ben Nagle, assistant sports editor at the MailOnline, tweeted: “The latest episode in the ‘Disastrous Palace-Brighton policing’ series at Norwood Junction. Hundreds of police on the platform, train to East Croydon turns up… half the fans, and all the police, get on – and then they let the entire away end into the station, no police in sight.”
Another fan wrote that away and home fans were let into the station at the same time which caused chaos.

Five Marseille supporters arrested following Lens match
L’Équipe report today that five Marseille supporters were arrested in the aftermath of yesterday’s 3-2 home loss to Lens for various instances of misbehaviour.
The first of which is suspected of pointing a laser at Lens’ Florian Sotoca while he was taking the penalty which opened the scoring. The second fan reportedly violently reacted to a steward, another used a pyrotechnic device and the last two for setting off flares.
With Ligue 1 stadiums being marred by an increasing presence of crowd trouble in the opening weeks of the season, the match was otherwise a pleasant break from the constant tension. Notably, the end of the match saw Marseille and Lens fans chant in unison in honour of Clément, the 23-year-old Marseille fan who lost his life in a road accident on the way back from the Angers match in midweek.
Marseille fans’ pitch invasion during their trip to the west of France means that they will not be allowed to travel for the trip to Lille next weekend.
