🚨 Court upholds Bordeaux's relegation to Régional 1! Thunderbolt! According to information from Sud-Ouest, the day after the hearing devoted to the Girondins de Bordeaux case, the Paris Administrative Court decided on Friday to uphold the sanction handed down by the FFF. The club therefore remains excluded from the national championships and will have to play in Régional 1 next season, the sixth tier of French football. Relegated to Ligue 2 in 2022, Girondins de Bordeaux were placed in receivership in 2024 and lost their professional status. According to Sud Ouest , the interim relief judge was still awaiting on Friday morning “an opinion from the DNCG regarding whether or not the new project could be approved after receiving the maximum amount of information from the club on Thursday evening.” The takeover project led by Sparta Capital notably provided for an injection of 10.6 million euros to finance the 2026-2027 season, settle arrears, and cover the installments of the recovery plan. On July 31, Gérard Lopez transferred his shares to Sparta Capital for a symbolic one euro and waived his claims as well as his better-fortune return clause. Despite these elements, the Paris Administrative Court confirmed the exclusion of Girondins from the national championships. The club will therefore play in Régional 1, the sixth level of French football. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here.
