It is the D-day for the resumption of the National championship. The eighteen clubs will be able (finally) to attack this 2021-2022 season. This first day will already give rise to very interesting posters to follow. Boulogne-sur-Mer welcomes Chambly, relegated from Ligue 2, for a Hauts-de-France derby. There will also be another derby on the program this Friday since FC Villefranche Beaujolais will travel to the Marcel Verchère stadium in Bourg-en-Bresse.
In addition to these two meetings with strong regional stakes, we will be particularly attentive to the match of Châteauroux, author of a huge transfer window despite his relegation (Nolan Roux, Peter Ouaneh, Bendjaloud Youssouf …). The club chaired by Michel Denisot, which passed under the Saudi flag last March, welcomes Cholet and is undoubtedly the big favorite for the rise in Ligue 2. The Red Star, Le Mans and US Orléans will also aim to regain the higher division in order to maintain their professional status next season.
The return of Sedan to N1 will also be scrutinized by observers of the National championship. There is no shortage of contenders for the first three places in the National Championship. This foreshadows a new thrilling season, without forgetting the outsiders (Cholet, Concarneau, Boulogne …) who will try to get out of the game. Maintained sportily in June, the Stade Briochin, Sète and Annecy, the three promoted for the season 2019-2020, will once again try to stay within the 14.
A dense first day of National
This season, the Friday matches kick off at 7 p.m. and not at 8 p.m. For the first day, the nine posters will take place tonight. The Laval-Orléans meeting was initially scheduled for Monday on Canal + Sport but the Mayenne club has announced that it will not be able to accommodate its counterpart from Loiret. All the matches will be broadcast on FFFTV and at the end you will find the ratings, tops and flops of the 22 players in each game on Actufoot.com.
