What face will Ligue 1 have next season? This is the big blur, after the order made Tuesday evening by the Council of State. The judge suspended the relegations of Amiens and Toulouse, acted by the LFP at the end of April at the time of establishing the final classification for this season.

If the two clubs were obviously delighted with this decision, it is still too early to say that they will play well in the elite next season. "We will apply the judge's instruction and reconsider the matter in the coming days," said Tuesday the executive director of the League, Didier Quillot.

"That doesn't necessarily mean that we will play at 22"

In any case, "the rise of Lens and Lorient is not called into question by this order," he said. The first two in the Ligue 2 championship and the supporters were indeed beginning to ask questions, because if the LFP wants at all costs a Ligue 1 with 20 teams and that Amiens and Toulouse do not descend, it will be necessary to find solutions.

How are we going to proceed, then? We will still have to wait a bit to get the answer. “The Board of Directors has considered that the L1 is played at a maximum of 20 clubs. This is also the case for the agreement between the LFP and the FFF, and this for 40 years. But we're going to re-examine the board again, said Quillot. We had decided to play at 20. We are asked to reconsider this decision, we will reconsider it, but that does not necessarily mean that we will play at 22. ”
