Bordeaux Métropole renews its support for the Girondins de Bordeaux by waiving the payment of the rent for the Matmut Atlantique, for the period 2022-2023. A saving of 5 million euros for the club and a way to help it before its new passage before the DNCG (National Directorate of Club Management Control) in early July.
On June 14, the DNCG decided not to validate the budgetary framework presented by the club, which appealed against this decision. The president of Bordeaux Métropole estimates in a press release that this decision “ punishes a historic club of the elite of French football but also an entire region and all of its supporters. »
Already, in June 2021, the metropolis had made an effort with two decisions: that of spreading the club’s debt (5.8 million euros), and of smoothing the rents for the years 2021 and 2022 until the end of the 2024-2025 season. This time, Bordeaux Métropole has decided on a moratorium on the current schedule (2022-2023), and waives the collection of 5 million euros in rent. A decision shared with all political groups.
