It had been in the air for a little while. On the advice of Fifa, the board of directors of the Professional Football League decided on Friday to authorize five substitutions during a Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 match for the 2020-2021 season. This measure, implemented in many championships when they resume post-containment, therefore seems to have found its audience among football decision-makers.
In addition, the LFP announced that the Ligue 1 teams will be able to register twenty players on the score sheet, against eighteen for that of Ligue 2. Finally, as planned there too, the League has confirmed that the election of its next president, originally scheduled for November, would be brought forward to September 10.

On Wednesday, the 40 professional French football clubs had confirmed the principle of advancing to September this election initially scheduled for November at the end of the mandate of the current leaders.
The file for the renewal of the leaders of the League has accelerated in recent days with the decision of the current president Nathalie Boy de la Tour, in office since 2016, not to seek a second term, announced in the columns of The Team Monday.
