Accustomed to following the biggest poster of the weekend on Sunday evening, Ligue 1 observers were upset when they noted that Nice-Strasbourg had been chosen in prime time by DAZN during this 12th day.
For many years, the Sunday evening match has been a special moment for Ligue 1 lovers. Whether on Canal+, Prime Video or now DAZN, the broadcaster offers its subscribers the big poster of the day in prime time Sunday at 8:45 p.m. But against all expectations, it was the modest poster between Nice and Strasbourg which awaited observers of the French championship this Sunday, November 24. A somewhat disappointing display on paper, and it is not the Nice supporters who will say the opposite since the Allianz Riviera only had 15,000 supporters in the stands, while the total capacity of the Riviera enclosure is 30,000 places. This choice of DAZN is controversial on social networks and in particular on X, where we wonder how the main broadcaster of Ligue 1 could choose such a poster for its Sunday slot at 8:45 p.m.
Nice-Strasbourg, a misunderstood choice from DAZN
“Frankly DAZN put Nice-Strasbourg on a Sunday evening, no point. Never seen such an incompetent channel”, “Nice vs Strasbourg as a bonus this evening #DAZN…”, “Nice – Strasbourg on a Sunday evening, DAZN are really serious idiots, and people continue to pay for their subscriptions, it's ridiculous », “Sunday evening flagship match in Ligue 1, almost empty stadium for Nice Strasbourg and you want to pay DAZN” or even “A nice match on Sunday evening with a fairly empty stadium as is often the case. Amazing choice from DAZN » et “DAZN and the league who have the incredible idea of putting us in Nice-Strasbourg for the 9 p.m. match, I don’t even know what to say anymore” can we read on social networks, where Internet users are speechless at the choice of the English channel.
It should still be remembered that this weekend, it was BeInSports which had the first choice and which selected the Lens-OM poster on Saturday at 5 p.m. while PSG or even Monaco who play in the Champions League, do not couldn't play on Sunday. Posters like Lille-Rennes or Reims-OL could, however, have been chosen by DAZN, which made another – very surprising – choice by betting on the match between Nice and Strasbourg.
