The French Football League’s disciplinary commission ruled out any point deduction for FC Nantes as it begins its Ligue 2 campaign. The club will face a closed-door match at the Stade de la Beaujoire, with the Loire stand shuttered for two additional fixtures. The commission also confirmed the 0-0 scoreline recorded at the moment the referee halted the match against Toulouse on May 17th.
Before the final whistle in Nantes’ 34th and decisive Ligue 1 fixture, disgruntled home supporters stormed the pitch, protesting their team’s relegation to Ligue 2. The referee subsequently called off the game after the pitch invasion.
