Lyon have been cleared by UEFA to compete in next season’s Europa League, despite the DNCG’s decision to relegate them to Ligue 2 over financial concerns.

Lyon have been demoted to Ligue 2 ahead of the 2025-26 season as a review confirmed their administrative relegation.

Olympique Lyonnais have been relegated to Ligue 2, French football's financial watchdog (DNCG) said on Tuesday following an audit of the club, which said it would appeal the decision immediately.
