The 2024–25 season is the 143rd season in the existence of FC Girondins de Bordeaux and their first season in Championnat National 2. They are also due to compete in the Coupe de France.
Following continued financial decline and an inability to find new investment or ownership, the club were forced into filing for bankruptcy and relinquishing their professional status. This action forced the DNCG and the LFP to sanction the club with an administrative relegation to the Championnat National.[1] After a removed appeal, Les Girondins accepted the decision and subsequently started a receivership procedure in order to begin the restructuring plans at the club. However, this invoked further punishment from the DNCG and resulted in a decision to relegate the club to the Championnat National 2.[2] Despite an appeal, Bordeaux's fate was confirmed on 16 August 2024, marking the first time the club would play outside of the top two divisions since they became professional in 1936.[3]
The Championnat National 2 began on 16 August 2024; however, due to having an insufficient number of players, Bordeaux postponed their opening two fixtures, with the club beginning their campaign on 31 August 2024.
Transfers
[edit]Due to the bankruptcy issues and the forfeiture of professional status, the club would release all players under contract on 25 July 2024.[4]
Following confirmation that the club would survive and would play in National 2, Bordeaux began recruiting players for the first team in order to be able to participate in the upcoming season. On 28 August 2024, the club annouunced via their website that they had recruited twenty-four players, four of which were retained from youth contracts at the club in the previous season. Former youth products Rio Mavuba and Paul Baysse would come out of retirement to offer their services to the team.[5]
