Only the first 3 teams of groups A, B and C of National 2 go directly to National 1. On the other hand, if, during the summer off-season of clubs evolving in L1, L2 or National 1 are administratively demoted by the DNCG in N2 at least, the FFF plans to recover the penultimate of National 1, and then allow the best second of N2 to climb.
There is therefore a very small probability of climbing N1 sportingly for the best second in N2. For this, the Girondins must at least finish 2nd in their group to participate in the calculation of the best second of N2.
How to determine the best second in National 2?
The FFF indicates in its regulations that the draft of the best second to go up in N1 can take place until July 17, 2025. It is chosen “Among the teams classified second in each of the N2 groups and having obtained the best classification established according to the criteria: the number of points obtained in the round trip and return meetings which opposed the second classified team with the other five best classified teams, including the team directly. “
In other words, if Bordeaux finishes second, the number of points obtained on direct confrontations in the face of the other 5 best classified teams (1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th) will determine its position compared to the other 2 best seconds in group A and C. Thus, the best second of N2 is the team that totals the maximum of points with this calculation method.
Bordeaux must win its last 3 games
We have seen the regulations. However, today, Bordeaux is 4th in his group, 4 points from Saint-Malo which is second. In addition, there are only 3 games left to play.
-Consequently, to hang this second place Bordeaux must beat the herbaria (3rd) this Saturday to pass him in front, and then win against Granville and Locminé, while hoping for a defeat and a draw from Saint-Malo at the same time. The chances are thin but they exist.
As of April 26, here is the ranking of the best second established by Footamator:
1 – FC93 Bobigny Bagnolet Gagny : 15 points – Group C
2 – AS Cannes : 13 points – Groupe A
3 – US Saint-Malo : 13 points Groupe B
