Overview

• AC Ajaccio missed the August 6 CNOSF appeal deadline after failing to post a €2.5 million deposit and verify a €15 million guarantee, confirming its drop to Championnat National.
• The LFP board on August 7 officially repêchaged US Boulogne Côte d’Opale into Ligue 2 for the 2025–26 season, ending a 13-year absence from the second tier.
• FC 93 Bobigny, as the top-ranked repêchage candidate from National 2, filed an urgent appeal at the administrative tribunal to claim the vacant National spot.
• Bobigny’s president, Mamadou Niakaté, accuses the DNCG and FFF of procedural faults and unequal treatment in validating Ajaccio’s participation in National.
• With the National season set to start, Bobigny is seeking a suspension of Ajaccio’s validation or a full injunction to secure its inclusion in the third tier.
