Girondins given the green light to play in Ligue 2: FFF accepts findings of CNOSF

Today (27 July 2022), the executive committee of the French Football Federation (FFF) held a special meeting to approve the recommendations of the National Olympic and Sporting Committee (CNOSF) issued on 25 July, thus definitively confirming that FC Girondins de Bordeaux will be able to play in Ligue 2 this season. Following the lead of the Commercial Court and the CNOSF, the FFF has now formally acknowledged the current and future financial robustness of our club, and the fact that we are more than adequately prepared to play in Ligue 2 this season, in full compliance with the relevant sporting regulations. Thomas Jacquemier, the club's Executive Vice-President, hailed the good news: "We welcome this decision, which is an immense source of relief for the club, for all of our players, and of course for our 300 employees, our partners and our fans, who have never stopped believing in our project and our determination to see it through. We fought arm-in-arm with all of the club's friends and supporters to put together a sporting and economic strategy which will allow FCGB to write a new chapter in its storied history, and rebuild on solid foundations. Our ambition is clear: to get back into Ligue 1 as soon as possible. Allez Bordeaux!"
