Nanterre 92 is currently competing in a intense playoff semi-final against AS Monaco, but the club's management is already preparing for the future. Pascal Donnadieu, the JSF's sports director, confirmed on DAZN that the French team will be competing in the BCL. "We have chosen the BCL", he said with confidence. A choice made after a strategic reflection, combining the level of play and the management of the audience in the Paris region. "Why the BCL? Because we find that the level is quite high with Spanish teams, formidable teams, and the fact that there are also fewer matches with bigger quality fixtures", he explained first. Nanterre will join Cholet and Strasbourg in this competition, confirming the strong French representation in the Champions League for the upcoming season. "Knowing that multiplying matches in the Paris region is never something obvious, we are very happy to join the BCL", added Pascal Donnadieu. The BCL is a competition that brings together the best European teams, and Nanterre 92 is ready to take on the challenge. "We are delighted to join the BCL and participate in this competition that will allow us to measure ourselves against the best European teams", said Julien Mahé, Nanterre 92's coach. The 2026-2027 season will be an "extraordinary" season for Nanterre 92, which will be ready to take on the challenges of the BCL.
