End of suspense for Ligue 2. The director general of the LFP, Didier Quillot, confirmed the end of the current financial year and said this afternoon that “the Board of Directors has decided to adopt the principle of two ascents and two descents. There will be no roadblocks“. PSG and Lorient are champions. Amiens and Toulouse go down. The Merlus and Lens go up.
A resumption date of the new season is envisaged “no later than August 23“, that is to say behind closed doors according to current government guidelines in the fight against the coronavirus.

The League also explained its ranking method. For Ligue 1, “This is a performance index taking into account the number of points scored on all games played. To determine the ties on this performance index, the specific confrontations have been selected“. For Ligue 2, the classification retained is that of the 28th day. Niort therefore finishes in 18th place. The maintenance seems a priori acquired.
Be careful however: to know the movements between Ligue 2 and the National, you will still have to wait. “ The General Assembly of May 20 will be sovereign to decide on the format of Ligue 2 and on the number of climbs and descents between Ligue 2 and the National “, said Didier Quillot.
