The French league game between Nice and Marseille was halted for several minutes during the first half on Wednesday after fans unfurled banners with homophobic messages.
One banner at the Allianz Riviera stadium criticised Ligue 1 authorities for approving more fenced off sections in the stands, saying it makes for "more gay" stadiums.
Another banner referred to Tuesday's takeover of Nice by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, Britain's richest man who is the owner of chemical giant Ineos and the Team Ineos cycling team.
