OGC NICE
vs
Ligue 1 McDonald's • Journée 24 WEEKEND OF MARCH 12-14, 2027 ALLIANZ RIVIERA
Founded in 1970, the club from the Occitan capital returned to Ligue 1 Uber Eats after two seasons in the second division.
Champions in the 2021-22 season with 79 points, the Violets, then managed by Philippe Montanier, claimed their third Ligue 2 BKT title, thanks in particular to their two prolific forwards, Branco Van den Boomen (12 goals and 21 assists) and Rhys Healey (20 goals and 4 assists).
In the 2022-23 season, having just earned promotion to Ligue 1 McDonald's, Toulouse went on to win the first Coupe de France in their history, defeating the holders, FC Nantes.
Despite a much more convincing second-half performance and several clear-cut chances, OGC Nice suffered a late defeat against Toulouse FC (0-1) on Matchday 1. Bouanani, Mendy and Boudaoui each sent a few warning signs through the Toulouse defence, but none could get the better of Guillaume Restes, who produced a decisive performance in goal for TFC. Just as the Gym looked capable of snatching victory, a series of defensive errors ultimately allowed Djibril Sidibé to score the only goal of the match in the closing moments. It was a frustrating and cruel defeat for the Red and Blacks, punished despite an encouraging second-half display.
In their last 10 meetings against Toulouse FC in Ligue 1, OGC Nice have recorded 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats, scoring 11 goals and conceding 11.
On 9 November 2023, Toulouse faced Liverpool in the group stage of the Europa League. Although the match looked one-sided on paper, the fans turned up the volume in the stands and unveiled a purple tifo specially designed for European competition, worthy of the occasion. Above it was the message: “With a bit of luck, it might just work !”, accompanied by an image of Jean-Claude Dusse, an iconic character who delivered this offbeat line in the film Les Bronzés font du ski. In the end, it took more than just a bit of luck for Toulouse to pull off the feat, securing a memorable 3-2 victory on home turf.
The Stadium de Toulouse has a capacity of 33,150 spectators and is located 463 km from the Allianz Riviera, as the crow flies on Mèfi’s back.
Trained at Toulouse FC, Nathan Ngoumou made his professional debut with his boyhood club before truly coming into his own during the 2021-22 season. Scoring 8 goals and providing 4 assists that year, the forward played a key role in TFC's Ligue 2 title triumph and their return to the top flight. His performances attracted interest from several European clubs, leading him to join Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer of 2022. In Germany, the Cameroon international discovered the Bundesliga and continued to develop, thanks to his pace, direct running and ability to operate across the entire forward line, with a preference for the right flank. In Gladbach colours, he made 78 appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists. After being sidelined throughout the 2025-26 season due to an Achilles tendon injury, Nathan Ngoumou returned to France in the summer of 2026, signing for OGC Nice. At 26, the Cameroon forward brings his pace and directness to the Aiglons' attacking ranks.
