Bordeaux was relegated to the sixth level of French football a month ago due to financial problems. The club was founded in 1881 as a sports association and became a professional club in 1937. It won six French championships and four national cups, including reaching the semifinals of the Europa Cup 1 in the 1984/85 season.
The investors required Bordeaux to be admitted to the national competition as a condition for investing in the club. However, the club failed to meet this condition, leading to the investors withdrawing their support. Bordeaux was set to play in the cup competition this weekend, but the match has been postponed due to safety concerns for the club's supporters.
The situation is now set to be discussed in a meeting on September 11, where all parties will come together to look for a solution. Bordeaux last played a match on May 16, drawing 3-3 against US Avranches. The club's future remains uncertain, with the possibility of it never playing another professional match.
