six years after its descent from Ligue 1, Nancy demoted to National 3 by the DNCG

Tumble of three divisions in the space of two seasons for ASNL. The DNCG (National Management Control Department) acted, Tuesday, June 27, the demotion of Nancy to National 3, the equivalent of the fifth level of French football. Sportingly relegated to N2 after finishing 13th in the National, the Lorraine club failed to have its provisional budget validated by the financial policeman of French football.

“After reviewing the file and finding certain missing financial guarantees, the Commission decided to downgrade the club to National 3.reacted the club on Twitter, confirming at the same time that he was going to appeal. “[L’ASNL] will make every effort to provide the additional information and documents necessary to convince the commission. The shareholders renew their commitment to finance the club”he also assured.

The descent into hell therefore continues for Nancy, who was still playing in Ligue 1 during the 2016-2017 season. Bought by a consortium of Chinese-American investors at the end of 2020, while playing in Ligue 2, the Lorraine club sank little by little. The people of Nancy have thus experienced two sporting relegations in two years, from Ligue 2 to National 2, before this administrative demotion.
