Paris court upholds Girondins de Bordeaux's relegation to Régional 1

The Paris Administrative Court confirmed the relegation of Girondins de Bordeaux to Régional 1 after a hearing on August 20. The sanction, initially handed down by the French Football Federation, leaves the club facing sixth-tier football next season. Despite attempts by Sparta Capital to invest €10.6 million to revitalize the club following its tumultuous history, including entering receivership and losing professional status, the court's decision stands. This ruling ensures Bordeaux will not participate in national championships during the upcoming season, continuing their struggle since being relegated from Ligue 2 in 2022.
