AC Ajaccio: Relegation and hopes of rescue in Ligue 2

The future of AC Ajaccio is uncertain, weighing today before the DNCG Appeal Board. The Corsican club struggles for survival in professional football after having undergone an administrative demotion in National 1. This crucial period is marked by the hope of saving its place in League 2, an objective that now depends on the decision of the appeal commission. The team, supported by its supporters, is anxiously awaiting the verdict that will determine its fate.

In parallel to this critical situation, the project to take over the club by Spanish lawyer Arnau Baquรฉ Roig, in collaboration with Alain Orsoni, is at the centre of attention. To reassure the DNCG, the group submitted a notarial guarantee of EUR 20 million. However, the DNCG insists on the need for a concrete bank loan before approving the project, creating considerable pressure on the winning potential in a race against time.

The situation of AC Ajaccio is closely followed by other clubs, such as the US Boulogne, which would be ready to join Ligue 2 in the event of a confirmed relegation of Ajaccio. Other clubs, such as the Olympic Nรฎmes and FC Martigues, are also in a precarious situation, having been excluded from national competitions. The Appeal Board of the DNCG has rendered its decision: AC Ajaccio is relegated to National, while the US Boulogne is recovered and the Olympic Nรฎmes is maintained in National 2.
