After Abardonado, Varrault, Grégorini, and Traoré, it is now the turn of Florent Balmont and Olivier Echouafni to receive this award on Saturday, December 22, during the Nice-Valenciennes match.
OGC Nice, a centenary club, is an integral part of the heritage of the people of Nice. Its history, rich in titles, makes it one of the clubs with the most significant achievements among current Ligue 1 clubs.
The life of football clubs is made up of cycles. After the glories of the past and the lean periods, the club returned to Ligue 1 in 2002 with a guiding principle of wisdom, seriousness, and long-term vision, aiming to firmly establish the club on the national football scene.
On the field, the virtues of commitment, solidarity, and seriousness constantly demonstrate a strong attachment of the players to the red and black colors. We can be proud of the team’s behavior, regardless of its sporting results.
In the 50s or 60s, wearing the same team’s colors 100 times was common, but nowadays, it’s a different story. Instances of players joining teams for short stints are not uncommon anymore, and attachment to the jersey, to the colors, has become increasingly rare. We must reward this attachment and fidelity.
Thus, each current team player who has worn the red and black jersey in Ligue 1 as a starter 100 times will be awarded the TERS PRIZE and will join the “Club of the Hundred.” A delightful way to reward, beyond fidelity, the talent!
