End of an era for historic Bordeaux!



A lot and seriously economic problems that have plagued the club in recent years have now created an irreversible… situation in the French club, which until 2021/22 was competing in Ligue 1, even winning its last championship in 2009!

According to French publications, on Thursday a “black” page was written in the history of “Girondins”, as the management of the team informed the French Football Federation that renounces her professional statuswhich he owned since 1937, and is now being converted into amateur union!

And while recently there have been contacts with investors so that save the club from bankruptcy and the deficit of 42 million euroshowever, did not thrive, resulting in Bordeaux taking this action.

Now, with this decision, it results in the automatic termination of all the contracts of the footballers, who will remain free, while, as the French note, they will not have the right to operate their academies, in which there are approximately 70 young people players.

Then last year too relegation from Ligue 2 to the third division, the “Girondins” are waiting to finally know in which division they will compete in the new season.
