Eden Hazard and Paris Saint-Germain led the well-wishers offering their support to the Lille fans injured when a barrier collapsed during their Ligue 1 clash with Amiens on Saturday evening.
The match was abandoned after just 15 minutes at the 12,000 capacity Stade de la Licorne in northern France.
The collapse occurred as visiting fans celebrated Fodo Ballo-Toure scoring the game’s opening goal.
Dozens of supporters fell nearly two metres down to pitch level after the barrier gave way, leaving 20 supporters injured, with three taken to hospital - although that number may rise.
The clash between the two northern French sides was subsequently abandoned 45 minutes after the incident.
The match delegate, Noel Mannino, said: “In light of the events, and given the fact that about 20 were injured, three of them seriously, it has been decided that the game would not resume.”
Lille players would return after the event to offer thanks to fans who had remained in the stands, waiting to be evacuated.
Lille CEO Marc Ingla released a statement after the game declaring: "I would first like to have a very strong thought for our supporters and specifically for the injured. I hope with all my heart that they are well. We are waiting for more precise information. All energy and good thoughts must now go to them.
"Tonight we also have the right to ask about the organizational and safety conditions proposed by the stadium and the Amiens club. We are quite disturbed, we are counting on the LFP so that responsibilities are identified for the victims of this accident and so that this can not happen again. It's pretty incredible that this type of accident can happen today.
"Moreover, it seems that the President of Amiens SC lacked lucidity and has rushed in his statements. Professional football demands a certain number of organizational requirements, and in this context, these statements seem inappropriate and irresponsible.
"Our fans and our clubs are the victims of the events of the evening."
Home side Amiens tweeted after the match: "Our hearts are with the injured. We hope they are not very seriously hurt.”
Chelsea star Hazard offered his thoughts on social media, having previously played for Lille.
The Belgian international came through Les Dogues' youth system before shining in their first team, for whom he starred during their 2010-11 Ligue 1 success.
In all, Hazard made 194 appearances for the French side, scoring 50 goals. He tweeted: "Courage to all the wounded Lille fans....a big thought for you. #dogueunjourdoguetoujours"
Former Leeds midfielder Olivier Dacourt responded to Lille's tweet confirming the game had been cancelled, declaring: "Big thoughts to you and your supporters. Courage"
The pair was joined by a host of French teams who offered their support, including the likes of PSG, Monaco and Bordeaux.
"Thoughts for @losclive and the supporters wounded tonight in Amiens" said a tweet from French league leaders PSG, who had beaten Bordeaux 6-2 earlier in the day.
"Tonight all our thoughts are with the @losclive supporters injured in Amiens" read a tweet from Bordeaux.
Saint-Etienne declared: "You have our full support".
Last season's French title winners Monaco said: "All our thoughts are with Lille supporters injured in the incident that occurred this evening. We're with you".
