The historic French club Bordeaux announced this Tuesday that it has accepted relegation to the National 1 category, which corresponds to the third level in French football. The National Management Control Directorate (DNCG) announced the relegation for breach of financial fair play earlier this month, but the club promised to appeal the decision, which it has now withdrawn.
Bordeaux announced that it is withdrawing the appeal it was going to make this Tuesday and thus accepts the sanction imposed by the Court of First Instance of France. The club still has to appear before (DNCG) to present a budget and guarantee a place in the third division, also seeing the failure of the possibility of sale to "Fenway Sports Group".

Although discussions have resumed in recent days, on Monday July 22, FSG representatives indicated to Bordo and its shareholder that they had no intention of continuing the process, despite assurances given by several interested parties. Consequently, in the absence of any new information, Bordeaux has withdrawn its appeal against the decision of the DNCG of July 9, 2024 .
Thus , Bordeaux accepts the sanction of administrative relegation to the National Championship 1 for the 2024-2025 season and will be called again to present the budget to the DNCG.
The period that follows should allow him to return stronger and at the highest level. The club and its shareholder assure the fans and all interested parties of their determination to protect the club's interests ," it said in a statement.
Last season, Bordeaux finished 12th in Ligue 2 with 50 points. They have been champions of France six times, most recently in the 2008-2009 season.
