Olympique Lyon has been provisionally relegated to the second tier of French football by the DNCG, the national body responsible for monitoring club finances. Reports indicate the club has accumulated substantial long-standing debt, potentially exceeding 500 million euros.
The club was given a deadline until today to provide financial assurances to the regulatory authorities. However, the documentation submitted was apparently not considered sufficient, leading the French body to make the decision to drop them to Ligue 2.
Nevertheless, Olympique Lyon possesses the right to appeal this ruling. Therefore, while they are currently facing relegation, the situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated in the coming days.
