The 2021–22 Championnat National 2 is the 24th season of the fourth tier in the French football league system in its current format. This season the competition is being contested by 64 clubs split geographically across four groups of 16 teams. The teams include amateur clubs (although a few are semi-professional) and the reserve teams of professional clubs.
Teams[]
On 15 July 2021, the FFF ratified the constitution of the competition, and published the groups.[1]
Due to the non-completion of the 2020–21 season, the FFF declared that there would be no regular promotion or relegation from the division, and that any vacancies to be filled would be done on the basis of finishing positions in the 2019–20 season.[2][3]
Changes from 2020–21 season are as follows:
- Sedan were promoted to Championnat National to replace SC Lyon, who finished bottom of 2020–21 Championnat National, and were relegated according to the rules of that competition.[4] SC Lyon will play as Lyon La Duchère in Championnat National 2 this season.[5]
- Bourges 18 and Bourges Foot merged to form Bourges Foot 18, resulting in a vacancy.[6]
- Gazélec Ajaccio were administratively relegated to Championnat National 3 for financial reasons, a decision which was confirmed on appeal, resulting in a vacancy.[7][8]
- Vacancies were to be filled by Lille (res) and Vitré as best 14th placed teams in the 2019–20 season. However, Lille (res) declined to take up the position, and were replaced by Montpellier (res).[9][10]
Impact of COVID-19 on the season[]
The start of the season was impacted by postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France. Three opening day games in Group C were postponed due to COVID-19 cases at Saint-Priest, Martigues and Aubagne.[11][12]
The game-week three game between Nantes (res) and Angers (res) was postponed on the preceding Wednesday due to COVID-19 cases at Angers.[13]
