Months after bankruptcy, AC Ajaccio secure promotion to Régional 1 | OneFootball

AC Ajaccio have clinched promotion to Régional 1, the sixth tier, with four matches remaining, marking a first step in their rebuild.

A 0-0 draw away to Gallia Lucciana’s reserves put them 14 points clear of the third-placed side, meaning they cannot be caught.

According to L'Équipe, the Corsican club were relegated administratively from Ligue 2 to Régional 2 last August after filing for bankruptcy.

They were in Ligue 1 in 2022-2023 and in Ligue 2 last season, then fell five divisions during the off-season because of financial problems.

Elsewhere in the city, Gazélec now play in National 3, the fifth division, and sit ninth in their 14-team group, having featured in Ligue 1 in 2015-2016 before also sliding down the national ladder.
