The Appeals Committee of the French Clubs Financial Control Committee officially announced today, Wednesday, the decision to keep Olympique Lyon in the French Ligue 1 for the upcoming 2025/2026 season, following the acceptance of the appeal submitted by the club.

According to what was published by the French newspaper "L'Équipe", the Appeals Committee canceled the decision issued in the first instance, which threatened Lyon with relegation, while imposing financial restrictions that include setting a salary cap and transfer deals, according to the budget submitted by the club.

These developments come after Michel Kang took over as president of Lyon, succeeding John Textor, as part of the new administration's efforts to correct the financial situation and ensure the club's stability on the sports front.

Thus, Lyon's participation in the upcoming Ligue 1 season is confirmed, with the club committed to the financial measures set by the committee.
