Together Ghoddos and his French Amiens are allowed to play in the French supreme league, Ligue 1, also next season. The team was relegated when the league ended prematurely because of the corona crisis. Amiens and the last Toulouse took legal action and have now been heard in French court.
After the case has been up in the highest legal body, the Conseil d'État, whose closest Swedish counterpart is the Supreme Administrative Court, the verdict is that the decision not to play the finished season remains, while the relegation fails.
This means that Lyon - who finished seventh and outside Europe - will be rejected in his appeal, as they wanted to play the season clearly. Ten rounds remained when the football series was blown off in late April.
Paris SG was declared champion.
