This ruling could be a major turning point for FC Nantes, both sportingly and financially. If the administrative court decides to restore the 3 points from their victory over Bastia—originally revoked due to Abdoulaye Touré’s ineligible participation—the Canaries could move from 12th to 10th in Ligue 1, significantly boosting their end-of-season TV revenue by an estimated €1.16 million.
Given the €5 million fine imposed by FIFA over the Ismaël Bangoura transfer case, this potential windfall comes at a crucial time. For a club trying to stay financially afloat and competitive, every euro and every point matters.
