Olympique Lyonnais has been relegated to Ligue 2 starting from the 2025-2026 season after a court ruling upheld their demotion due to financial irregularities and breaches of financial fair play regulations. The decision comes after a lengthy legal process, with the club's appeal being rejected, confirming their relegation and financial penalties. The club expressed disappointment with the ruling but indicated they would continue to work towards rebuilding and returning to France's top tier. The demotion marks a significant setback for Lyon, a club with a rich history in French football, and it raises questions about the future management and financial practices within the organization.
