"To coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and following the success of our previous exhibitions dedicated to Olympism in 2024 and cycling in 2025, the City of Montpellier is offering another exceptional event. From June 26 to July 18, at City Hall, a unique selection of around forty rare pieces from the treasures of the Louis Nicollin private collection will be entirely dedicated to the world of football and exhibited to the public for the first time. It is a privilege and a renewed pleasure to bring this unique sporting heritage to life alongside the Nicollin family."

"Football possesses this unique power: that of bringing together all generations and all audiences around a shared passion. That is why we are pleased to renew, for the third consecutive year, our collaboration with the Montpellier Metropolitan Area to offer a unique and accessible exhibition for everyone. Through this event, we wish to share this exceptional heritage while contributing to the prestige of our region."
