Gathered together this Tuesday June 23, the General Assembly of the LFP adopted by a 74.49% majority of votes cast the resolution proposed by the Administrative Council to maintain the Ligue 1 format at 20 clubs for the 2020-2021 season.
The vote was held after a thorough examination of what was at stake in sporting terms in having a Ligue 1 with 20, 21 or 22 clubs and its impact on the fixture calendar of 2020-2021 and the consequences for the health of the players.
The examination also took in the financial impact, the share of TV rights and the contractual repercussions with the Ligue 1 broadcasters.
Following this decision and after the Federal Assembly of the FFF on June 26, the LFP will hold on the same day an Administrative Council that will adopt the fixture list for the 2020-2021 season.
