The draw conducted this Friday has delivered its verdict, and the club from the Riviera now knows who their next opponent will be in this competition.
OGC Nice will face the Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol in the round of 16 of the Conference League. The first leg will take place on Thursday, March 9th in Moldova, while the return match will be held at the Allianz Riviera on Thursday, March 16th.
A regular in European competitions, the Sheriff players competed in the Champions League last year. As the underdogs in a group consisting of Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Shakhtar Donetsk, the Moldovans caused a stir by winning the match at the Bernabeu and securing two draws against the Ukrainians.
It’s a match to be taken very seriously, which excites Nice supporters who are nostalgic for the European Cup finals.
