[Saba Sports News] According to the latest reports from French media, the historic club Ajaccio, currently competing in the French third division league, has filed for bankruptcy in a bid to avoid being relegated to regional leagues. This bankruptcy application stems from the club’s long struggle to find a buyer capable of taking on its debts, which are estimated to amount to €13 million.
The liquidation of the professional department means that 180 direct jobs will be eliminated, and the youth training center, which was recently awarded the best in Ligue 2, will also be closed. Ajaccio, with a history of 115 years, has competed in both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, but now finds itself facing bankruptcy due to debts of €13 million, which is quite disheartening.
The liquidation of the professional department will result in the loss of 180 jobs, and the closure of the youth training center—recognized as the best in Ligue 2—will have a devastating impact on the club’s future development, undermining years of efforts in player development. For Ajaccio’s fans, this is a significant blow. The team they have supported for years is now facing bankruptcy and relegation, leaving them filled with disappointment and helplessness.
