In early August 2026, French media reported that FC Nantes had signed a sale protocol with a British‑backed investor group, contingent on generating €70 million from player sales in the current window. The club’s owner, Waldemar Kita, publicly denied any such agreement, calling the story a rumor intended to destabilise the club. A few days later, the ultras group Brigade Loire ended its hiatus and returned to the stands, renewing protests demanding that the Kita family relinquish ownership. A supporter poll showed overwhelming dissatisfaction, with 85 % of fans lacking confidence in the current leadership and a majority calling for a full sale. The renewed activism follows weeks of tension after the group’s earlier suspension, and further demonstrations are expected. The situation thus moved from disputed sale rumors to heightened fan activism, both centered on calls for a change in FC Nantes’ ownership structure.
