Zidane's team drops to sixth division
The French club Bordeaux, one of the historic football clubs founded in 1881 and having won six titles in France, is suffering from a severe financial crisis that has led to its relegation to the sixth division this season. The club was penalized due to financial violations and a lack of approximately 10 million euros needed to cover its debts owed for the years 2025, 2026, and 2027. Last month, the club was sold for a symbolic one euro to the American investment group "Park Bench," which agreed to assume part of the debts. The club's participation in the regional sixth division league was approved after approval from the regulatory committee, as part of a 12-year rebuilding plan aimed at halving the debts and reducing the club's financial burden. The plan also permits a team of amateur players to sign five professional players. The restructuring process began after the club lost its professional and historic status due to relegation and legal reorganization.
