The French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) gave a favorable opinion on Monday, July 25, a favorable opinion on maintaining Ligue 2 des Girondins de Bordeaux, we learned from a source close to the club. However, this opinion is only advisory. It is up to the Executive Committee of the French Football Federation (FFF) that it is ultimately to decide a maintenance or not.

The National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG, the financial gendarme of football) had confirmed, on appeal on July 5, the administrative demotion of the Club of Ligue 2 in National 1, the amateur level.

She had considered that the guarantees provided by the Girondins de Bordeaux were not sufficient – in particular with regard to the reduction in debt (52 million euros) – so that the club can evolve in Ligue 2, where He had been raised sporting at the end of the 2021-2022 season, after thirty-one years in the first division.

The FFF plans to bring together its “Comex” on Wednesday to examine the file, she told AFP. If it follows the opinion of the CNOSF conciliators, Bordeaux will be officially maintained in Ligue 2 and will be able to start its season on Saturday July 30 against Valenciennes.
