French club RC Lens have banned their own supporters from attending the upcoming derby against Lille after dangerous behavior by fans during a UEFA Champions League match at Club Brugge was deemed to have "crossed a red line." The decision was announced on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
The ban follows incidents during Lens's Champions League fixture against Belgian side Club Brugge, where fan misconduct prompted the club to take severe action ahead of the highly anticipated northern derby.
