⚖️ Official: Olympique Lyon avoid relegation to Ligue 2 | OneFootball

Olympique Lyon will play next season in Ligue 1, as confirmed by the French Football Federation (FFF) in a statement.

The Appeals Commission of the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) has overturned the administrative relegation to the second division due to financial irregularities of the French football classic.

The Rhône club, whose owner John Textor stepped down from the presidency after failing to pass French football controls, is now in the hands of the duo formed by Michele Kang (president) and Michael Gerlinger (general manager).

Paulo Fonseca's men will play in the Europa League during the 2025-2026 season as well as Ligue 1, but the board will have to juggle the budget.

OL returns to the scene with a limited wage bill, which will make their moves in the market more difficult.
