Commemorative jerseys were worn and eighty-five white balloons released as Nice paid tribute to the victims of the Bastille Day attack.

Nice held a poignant tribute to the 85 victims of the Bastille Day terror attack ahead of its opening Ligue 1 game of the season.

Lucien Favre's side wore a commemorative white kit, bearing the names of the people killed on July 14 in a heart-shaped symbol.

Opponents Rennes bore the same emblem on their shirts, and a number of fans came dressed in white attire. The officials also exchanged their traditional yellow kit for a special white version.
