Nice will return to Europe two years later after securing their place in continental competitions on Friday by defeating Le Havre 1-0. The victory means Le Havre will continue to fight to maintain their category.

The only goal came as none of the Le Havre defenders managed to clear a throw-in by Antoine Mendy that bounced three times inside the box before reaching Ivorian forward Jeremie Boga, who didn't miss the opportunity to open the scoring.

Despite a late scare, the team from the Cote d'Azur secured their place in European competitions two years after their last appearance. However, Italian manager Francesco Farioli's side will still have to wait for the conclusion of their remaining two matches to determine whether they will compete in the Conference League, Europa League, or even the Champions League.
