Bordeaux supporters have been banned from Saturday's trip to Nantes in Ligue 1 because of the risk of violence, government officials in the Loire-Atlantique region announced on Monday.

"The sale and purchase of tickets is prohibited for any Bordeaux supporters and from 0800 to midnight, it will be forbidden from anyone claiming to be a Bordeaux fan to enter the stadium," read an official statement.

The decision, taken a day after Sunday's Rhone-Alpes derby between Saint-Etienne and Lyon for which travelling fans were also unable to attend, comes with France still under a state of emergency following the Paris terror attacks on November 13.

Nantes fans were ordered to stay away from the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux in the first meeting between the sides in August, following trouble between the rival sets of supporters in 2014.
