The resumption of the Ligue 2 championship is fast approaching and yet, we still do not know the identity of the 20th club involved. Downgraded by the DNCG to National 1, the Girondins de Bordeaux are awaiting the verdict of their hearing with the CNOSF. For their part, Villefranche, beaten in the barrage of accession to Ligue 2, say they are ready to replace the Girondins numerically in the event of an official descent. On Wednesday July 13, the club issued a press release.
Who from Villefranche Beaujolais or the Girondins de Bordeaux will participate in the 2022-2023 Ligue 2 season? Here is one of the questions still awaiting an answer since the DNCG’s decision to administratively downgrade Bordeaux to National 1 and the club’s desire to continue its fight for its survival by appealing to the CNOSF.
Bordeaux still has hope of saving itself, especially since Gerard Lopez has said that creditors are ready to do without nearly 75% of the club’s debt. In the meantime, Villefranche Beaujolais, who lost in the final of the Ligue 2 accession play-offs, says he is ready to take on a climb to replace the Girondin club numerically. The club issued a statement.
