Olympique Lyonnais contests the DNCG's decision

Olympique Lyonnais is responding to a decision deemed incomprehensible by the DNCG, which has impacted the club. The Lyon club has decided to appeal immediately. For several months, Olympique Lyonnais has worked with the DNCG, complying with all requirements, by making substantial equity investments. These efforts include the sale of Crystal Palace, significantly increasing the club's cash position for the 2025/26 season.

Despite these measures, the administrative decision was seen as an unfair relegation for this flagship French football club, which has qualified for European competitions for two consecutive years. The club plans to appeal to confirm its financial stability and ensure its continued promotion to Ligue 1.
