Overview

• The DNCG has formally barred AC Ajaccio from all national competitions for the 2025–2026 season after deeming the club insolvent
• If the exclusion is upheld, Ajaccio will be relegated to Regional 1, the sixth tier of French football
• The regulator’s ruling cites uncovered debts of about €13 million to €15 million alongside allegations of a bogus €2.5 million transfer and forged banking documents
• Ajaccio has seven days to appeal the decision at the DNCG and can pursue conciliation through the CNOSF or seek judicial review at the administrative tribunal
• FC 93 Bobigny has filed an urgent claim to secure the vacant National spot but faces FFF rules that likely leave the third-tier championship at 17 teams
