📸 We've found the funniest tifo of the season 🤣
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here. They are very good. This Wednesday evening, the first leg playoff for promotion to Ligue 1 2025-2026 between FC Metz and Stade de Reims took place at Stade Saint-Symphorien. Trailing 1-0, the Reims team managed to secure a draw, 1-1. Everything is still to play for! As the players entered the field, a particularly unique tifo was displayed by Horda Frenetik, one of the two ultra groups of the Moselle club. A choreography full of self-mockery depicting an elevator taken by a Metz supporter, going up one floor, from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1. And this message: "Priority to regulars." A reference to an image used to mock FC Metz, the "elevator club," regularly relegated from L1 to L2 in recent years. 📸 JEAN-CHRISTOPHE VERHAEGEN - AFP or licensors The numbers indeed do not prove the Metz supporters wrong: since 2000, the Lorrains have experienced eight relegations to L2, with seven promotions to L1.
