In the wake of the announcement of its administrative demotion in Ligue 2, OL published a press release to denounce “an incomprehensible decision” and announce its intention to appeal.
Olympique Lyonnais does not intend to abdicate. Draded in Ligue 2 by the DNCG, the Rhone club has indeed announced its decision to appeal the league’s decision in a press release, castigating the sanction inflicted by French football bodies by evoking “an incomprehensible decision”.
“Olympique Lyonnais takes note of the incomprehensible decision rendered by the DNCG this evening and confirms that it will appeal immediately, he wrote. In recent months, we have worked in close collaboration with the DNCG, satisfying all its requests with higher fund investments in the requested amounts. »»
“Thanks to the equity contributions of our shareholders and the sale of Crystal Palace, our cash has improved considerably and we have more than sufficient resources for the 2025-2026 season”, he added.
“Sports Success” for OL
And OL reitends its misunderstanding while the club therefore combines good financial health and “Sports success”. “With demonstrated funds and a sporting success that has earned us a place in European competition two years in a row, we sincerely understand how an administrative decision was able to relegate such a big French club,” he said.
“We will call on to demonstrate our ability to provide the necessary resources in terms of cash to guarantee the maintenance of OL in L1”, he added again.
