The transition matches for the place in the elite division of the French Championship have ended.

Nice in the transition match for the place of the French Lise 1 on her field defeated Saint-Etienne with a score of 4:1 after a draw result in the first game (0:0).

The victory for Claude Puel's team was ensured by scoring goals against Jonathan Kloss, Kael Budash and Elje Vai, who scored a double. The guests scored the only goal by Zuriko Davitashvili.

Thus, Nice lost its position in the elite division of the French Championship for the 2026/27 season, and Saint-Etienne will continue to compete with Lise 2.

It is also possible that previously direct tickets to Ligue 1 were denied by Troyes and Le Mans, which replaced Metz and Nantes.
