Boulogne-sur-Mer has officially been promoted to Ligue 2 to replace AC Ajaccio. The LFP Administrative Council has confirmed AC Ajaccio's non-participation in the Ligue 2 championship for the 2025-2026 season. The Boulogne club, which had failed to move up to Ligue 2 after its defeat against Clermont in the promotion playoffs, will therefore discover the second division. The Ligue 2 championship resumes this weekend, but Boulogne-sur-Mer is not expected to make its debut immediately. US Boulogne Côte d'Opale has confirmed the granting of professional status. The northern club had previously announced on X that it would join Ligue 2 after validation by the FFF CA. And now, Boulogne-sur-Mer fans can rejoice at seeing their team play in Ligue 2. The Corsican club, which is facing significant financial difficulties, had been administratively relegated to the third division on July 15 by the appeal commission of the National Management Control Directorate. The Corsican derby between AC Ajaccio and Bastia has been postponed for the first day. So, Boulogne-sur-Mer players will have to wait a bit before playing their first match in Ligue 2. The Boulogne club has therefore managed to integrate into Ligue 2, which is an achievement for this team. But the challenges will be numerous for the Boulogne-sur-Mer players, who will have to face experienced teams. The Ligue 2 championship promises to be exciting this season, with many teams aiming for promotion to Ligue 1.
