The season has not resumed as Le Havre, promoted from Ligue 2, is already sticking out its tongue. And pushes a rant, by the voice of its president. Jean-Michel Roussier denounced this Friday “the iniquity” of the distribution of the sums from the commercial company of the League (LFP), which he considers clearly unfavorable to his club.
“We are the ones who will receive the least and it is unacceptable”, explained to AFP the leader whose club will only receive 1.5 million euros, against 33 M€ for 14 of his competitors in L1, i.e. approximately €2.35 million.
The distribution of the 1.5 billion euros paid to the clubs by the firm CVC within the framework of the creation of the commercial company of the LFP was however voted unanimously, and consequently including with the voice of Le Havre, during the General Assembly of the League, on April 1, 2022.

According to this vote, seven Ligue 1 clubs of European dimension receive the largest sums – PSG, OM, Lyon, Monaco, Lille, Nice and Rennes – over two seasons, fourteen other L1 clubs are to receive 33 million euros and the L2 teams must receive €3 million over the same period. The teams descended last year in L2 (Metz, Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne) and the promoted in L1 (Toulouse, Troyes and Auxerre) must collect 16.5 M EUR of CVC money over two years.
“It’s a policy all for the benefit of the big clubs”
But to receive all of the windfall allocated to Ligue 2 teams (€3 million), the clubs must be present in L2 without interruption from the 2021-2022 season until the 2024-2025 season, according to the article 427 of the administrative regulations of the LFP. This is not the case of Le Havre, since it is promoted to L1, and is thus deprived of half of this sum.
“Le Havre will not touch anything for the L1 title while losing half of its 3 M€ for the L2 title since we will no longer be there, summarizes the president of the HAC. It’s a policy all for the benefit of the big clubs, nobody cares about us, we’re only there to outnumber them, in total inequity. »
“I fear that the solution is only before a court, I do not know which one, he concludes. We managed this season and succeeded brilliantly against two teams who finished 2nd and 3rd (Metz and Bordeaux, relegated in 2022) having received more CVC. We will continue to manage in the same way next season. »
