The game probably lost in Nancy
Among the arsenal of possible sanctions, the commission could give Nancy a lost match on green carpet. A result that would seal the club’s relegation to National (D3). Friday evening, the Lorraine club had no illusions about its fate to the point of announcing itself on Twitter that it would evolve into National next season.

Since its creation in 1967, the ASNL had never played in the third division. The club experienced its golden age in the 1970s when, thanks to a goal from Michel Platini, the Lorraine region won the Coupe de France (1978) by beating Nice.

A victory in the Coupe de la Ligue (2006) is the second most glorious line in the history of Nancy, who have also won the French Second Division Championship five times. ASNL was still playing in Ligue 1 in 2017.
