This Wednesday, the commission of the French federation (FFF) followed the advisory opinion of the CNOSF aiming to maintain the Girondins de Bordeaux club in Ligue 2, canceling in extremis the administrative demotion decided by the DNCG. After this long series with justice, return to the field very quickly for the FCGB. Ligue 2, the division in which the club descended sportingly at the end of the 2021/2022 financial year, resumes service this weekend.
The Girondins de Bordeaux will receive Valenciennes this Saturday during the 1st day. For this reception at the Matmut Atlantique stadium, which the Bordeaux metropolis makes available to the club free of charge this season, which avoids an expense of 5 million euros in rent, the Girondins have decided to thank the supporters after their mobilization for the maintenance of the club. . President Gérard Lopez announced on his Twitter account that tickets for the first Ligue 2 match were free. More information on the terms of the offer is forthcoming, but the club wants to mobilize as many supporters as possible to “celebrate” the start of the Ligue 2 season.
After 30 seasons in Ligue 1, the Girondins will play in the second division for the 9th time in their history. Objective, to try to rebuild solid foundations so that this mythical club of the elite of French football can, in the long term, replay the leading roles.
“The people of Bordeaux took part in putting everyone before their responsibilities on July 9 with a large-scale rally which demonstrated the soul and the capacity of this club,” said Ultramarines spokesperson Florian Brunet in L’Equipe. . We are satisfied with all the work done by the institutions, the politicians, the scapular club and the management. The downside is that unlike last year, we are not in L1. Tonight, we won’t party, we’ll do it for the ascent. Even if there were mitigating circumstances, obvious mistakes that should not be repeated were made last year. Today, everyone must get back to work to allow the Girondins to find the place that is theirs, in L1, and in the first places. »
