Manager change for Dijon FCO in June as Sebastien Joseph will be replaced by Pierre-Alain Picard. The new manager is the current assistant. The men's club plays in the National Tier 3 and has a lot of financial problems and therefore will do a fire sale on the women side in the Summer.
That team is in fourth place and could in theory win the play-offs and qualify for the champions league and then sell all its players..
Lyon have qualified for the Champions League, league phase by winning the regular season. They have guaranteed home advantage in the play-off semi-finals and finals. PSG are also in the play-offs and Paris FC joined them this week-end. Fourth play-off spot will go to Dijon if they can get 4 points from the next 3 games.
Yes, I spoke to the local sports correspondant from Le bien public last week at the FIFA WWC Futsal qualifiers and he confirmed they are dismantling the team for financial reasons.

Champions League qualification 1. Play-off winners (League phase) 2. Lyon (League phase) 3. PSG ( qualifying round 3 League path)
because of the sunday match against Arsenal, Joe montemurro sent the B/C team in Nantes. I was nice to see young players from the academy and other players who miss playing time. Bekhaled (18yo lyonnaise), Wandeler (19, swiss), Becho Benyahia, Daebritz, Ouazar (18, lyonnaise) Svava, Junttila-Nelhage, Tarciane, Huerta Goals Daebritz 39" Wandeler 74" (first D1 match)
French D2 Battle between Lens, Marseille, Toulouse for the 2 promotions Still 3 matchs to play (only 2 for Lens as the last one against Bordeaux doesn't count (0 pt) Lens, out of form losing its 2 last games, will play Nice and Toulouse Marseille will play Le Mans, Saint Malo, Toulouse Toulouse will play LOSC, Lens, Marseille
I assume Bordeaux folded and retired at the beginning of the season? What an ending for a club that was sporting Bunny Shaw and playing in Europe until a few years ago.
Bordeaux play at regional level they have qualified for the play-offs to play in Division 3 next season.
So Lyon as League winners get to Champs League phase regardless how they do in these playoffs? And rest have opportunity to get to League phase by winning first round? And PSG at worst get to third round qualifying? So does that mean it is possible all four get to some stage of Champs? PS I'm sorry to be a pain
Yes, Lyon are through to the League phase. And PSG are through to the QR3 . Should Paris FC or Dijon win the play-offs, they go through to the League phase. Should Lyon win the play-offs, PSG get upgraded to the the League phase and Paris FC goes to QR3 Should PSG win the play-off they get to the League phase with Lyon and Paris FC goes to QR3 And should Lyon win the UWCL 2024/25, they go to the 2025/26 tournament as title holder regardless of the play-offs. Lyon's place as France 1 or 2 is taken by Women Europa Cup title holder, who normally enter in QR3.
Thanks for the clarification! I almost got it right Gives the playoffs some meaning and doesn't diminish what Lyon accomplished by winning the regular season and rewards Paris and Dijon for pushing to get to top 4--doesn't seem like a bad set-up at all.
Yes it is better than last season where all 3 places where given via the play-offs. UEFA did not like it and told the FFF to change it.

Coming next week, more trophies this time from the footballers union UNFP https://www.instagram.com/p/DJEgCHGIvVG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Important to note the CBA club players has still not been signed despite negociations starting about 2 years ago.
Paris FC defeated Paris SG 5-4 on penalties with the scoreline 0-0 after 90 minutes. First trophy for 40 years old Gaetane Thiney who is retiring at the end of the season.
I wasn't even aware she was still playing! I understand her life-choice, but it's a shame that such a player only won one single trophy, although I am happy for her to at least end her long glorious career on this note!
Thiney alongside Soubeyrand and former NT Bruno Bini represent the old skool philosophy when women football was not professional and players were on the double project doing work and football. A blast from the past really. Nearly all the women players in France should be pros nowadays except for the fact that men clubs are ruined and struggling to fund the women teams.
