Amiens - where Swedish-Iranian striker Saman Ghoddos plays - and Toulouse were in 19th and 20th place when the season ended prematurely because of the corona pandemic, and took legal action after being told in late April that they would is degraded even though ten rounds remain.
France's highest administrative court upheld the decision and let the French league, LFP, determine the format of the series together with the French Football Association, FFF. But after a meeting with representatives from all Ligue 1 clubs, the decision was taken, after voting, that the two bottom teams are still rolling out.
74.4 percent of those who voted, including both players and coaches, felt that the coming season should consist of 20 teams - and thus Amiens and Toulouse may start in Ligue 2 this fall.
