Six-time Ligue 1 champions Bordeaux to play in sixth tier of French football after financial crisis

Six-time French champions Bordeaux will compete in the sixth tier of French football this season after receiving approval to play in the top regional division following a period of severe financial difficulties.

Six-time French champions Bordeaux have been approved to play in France's sixth tier after a financial crisis, a takeover by Park Bench and a major debt restructuring plan.
