A significant event has shaken the football world this Tuesday evening: Olympique Lyonnais has been officially relegated to Ligue 2 by the DNCG, the French football financial watchdog, following a review of the club`s financial situation.
The club had previously faced provisional relegation during the winter, and the threat of this sanction being confirmed loomed. However, Olympique Lyonnais retains the right to appeal this decision.
Should this sanction be upheld, it would represent a major blow, meaning Ligue 1 would lose one of its long-standing and prominent clubs.
As of now, the club has not issued an official statement regarding the DNCG`s decision. The prospect of a Ligue 1 season without Olympique Lyonnais is a difficult one for many fans and observers to imagine.
