Olympique Lyonnais have been officially relegated to Ligue 2 following significant financial difficulties.The decision was confirmed by France’s football financial watchdog, the DNCG, after the club failed to meet the required financial standards despite last-minute efforts to stabilize their accounts.
The seven-time Ligue 1 champions, who finished sixth last season, had hoped to avoid demotion by selling key assets—including a major stake in Crystal Palace and star forward Rayan Cherki—but these measures were deemed insufficient by the regulators.
Lyon have announced their intention to appeal the ruling, aiming to overturn what would be their first drop to the second tier since 1989.
