Six-time French football champions Bordeaux have been confirmed to play the current season in the sixth tier of the French football league system. The decision was officially announced by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine league on Thursday following previous sanctions issued during the summer.
The demotion stems from the club's failure to address significant financial irregularities. Specifically, the organization was unable to secure approximately 10 million euros required to cover debt payments and financial obligations for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons.
