This 30-year-old man came down to the stadium to try to kick Marseille player Dimitri Payet on Sunday evening.


Black t-shirt and shorts, tight jaw, right leg thrown forward: he made all the headlines the day after the Ligue 1 match between Nice and Marseille on Sunday night.

This Nice supporter, author of a kick in the direction of Dimitri Payet during the incidents which interrupted the meeting, must appear this Wednesday afternoon for immediate appearance, we learned from the Nice prosecutor's office (Alpes- Maritimes).

"He will be presented to the courthouse at the end of his police custody for unlawful intrusion on the playing area disturbing the sporting event, and willful violence in meetings", said the deputy public prosecutor, Jean-Philippe Navarre.

"This is aimed at the kick aimed at Dimitri Payet," he said.

Nice-OM: violence on the ground after the invasion of supporters

The man, nearly 30 years old, was known to the courts for old facts unrelated to sport.

The disciplinary committee meets this Wednesday

Sunday, the match between Nice and Olympique de Marseille was definitively interrupted in the 78th minute of the match, after the Marseille playmaker, Dimitri Payet, who was about to take a corner, was the target of the supporters ultras from Nice. Hit in the back by a plastic water bottle, Payet returned the projectile to the audience. Dozens of Nice supporters then invaded the lawn, causing a general fight between supporters, players of the two teams and members of the management of the two clubs. Nice was leading 1-0 when these serious incidents erupted.

The disciplinary commission of the LFP must look into these facts this Wednesday at the end of the afternoon, with the hearing of the representatives of the two clubs who have mutually blamed each other. The prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes has already announced the closure for four matches of the Popular South stand at the Nice stadium. In addition, the technical file for the installation of an anti-projectile device at the Allianz Riviera, the Nice stadium, will be handed over to the authorities this week for validation, also said Nice Eco Stadium (NES), the manager of the site.
