The Girondins de Bordeaux, administratively relegated to Regional 1 and excluded from national competitions by the DNCG, have announced they will appeal to the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) as a final measure to save the club. The appeal, to be filed on Friday, aims to gain just over a week to raise the 9 to 10 million euros needed to meet financial obligations. The club is also pursuing proceedings before the commercial court. Investment fund Sparta Capital remains a candidate for takeover. If the CNOSF appeal succeeds, the French Football Federation could reintegrate Bordeaux into National 1 (formerly N2), where they played last season.
