After being made aware of the situation by fans who had seen social media posts about the filming, Nice were quick to respond by reaching out to police. Nice Eco Stadium, the company that operates the Allianz Riviera Stadium, has also filed a complaint due to the negative association of their business with the film.
It's highly unusual for fans to make such films in football stadiums, given that adult films are not related to football in any way. The occurrence, though, is not without precedent. UK-based hotel company Travelodge recently filed a police complaint after a 28-person adult film scene was filmed inside one of their hotels in Newcastle last month, as reported by The Sun.

By doing so, the Ligue 1 club have reiterated their unwavering commitment to providing a family-friendly atmosphere for fans.
Nice leave out Ross Barkley from Europa Conference League squad
Midfielder Ross Barkley has reportedly been left out of Nice's 25-man squad for the UEFA Europa Conference League knockouts. That's despite the former Chelsea midfielder playing a key role for the team, scoring three goals in 14 league games this season.
According to reports from France (via Daily Mail), caretaker manager Didier Digard surprisingly opted to leave Barkley out, which is a major setback for the 29-year-old. Barkley joined Nice at the start of the season after leaving Chelsea by mutual consent but will now have to watch the rest of his team's continental campaign from the sidelines.
Reports suggest that Barkley's omission made way for Badredine Bouanani, a young forward who has only made three appearances for the Ligue 1 club this season.
