Metz FC has been embroiled in a Ligue 1 match fixing scandal with OGC Nice and player Elye Wahi. According to reports, Wahi deliberately took a yellow card during the match between OGC Nice and Metz FC. The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has filed a complaint against X for acts that may constitute sports corruption and organized gang fraud. The Marseille prosecutor's office indicated that Wahi, 23, was arrested on May 29, 2026, as part of an investigation into organized gang fraud and sports corruption. And the player was released after his audition. Metz FC had faced OGC Nice on the 34th day of Ligue 1 on May 17. But the investigation continues to determine the exact circumstances of the case. So the LFP recalls that it remains fully committed to ensuring the integrity of its competitions. Metz FC supporters are eagerly awaiting the results of the investigation to find out if their team was involved in this match fixing scandal. Player Elye Wahi, who is currently competing in the World Cup with the Ivory Coast, had received a yellow card in the 36th minute for a studs-up challenge on Metz defender Salidou Sané. This warning earned Wahi a suspension for the first leg of the L1/L2 playoff match between Nice and Saint-Étienne.
