Ligue 2

Ligue 2 is the second tier of professional football (soccer) in France. It operates under the governance of the French Football Federation (FFF) and is part of the French football league system. Ligue 2 features a competition format where teams play against each other in a round-robin format over the course of a season. The league comprises multiple clubs, with teams competing for promotion to Ligue 1, the top division, and to avoid relegation to lower divisions. Each season, the best performing teams earn promotion, while the lowest ranked teams face relegation. Ligue 2 plays a significant role in the development of professional football in France, serving as a platform for emerging talent and a critical step for clubs aspiring to reach the highest level of the sport.
