This afternoon, the administrative court is expected to announce its decision regarding the reallocation, even if only temporarily, of the 3 points earned by FC Nantes in their match against Bastia (2-0) during the first day of the French championship. These points were subsequently revoked due to the inclusion of midfielder Abdoulaye Touré, who was suspended at the time, on the match sheet.
The financial implications of this decision could be significant. With an additional 3 points added to their record, FC Nantes would climb to 10th place in the championship standings instead of 12th. According to reports from Butfootballclub.fr and Radio Côte d’amour, this adjustment could result in an additional 1.16 million euros in TV rights revenue for the club. However, FC Nantes is already facing financial challenges, including a €5 million fine imposed by FIFA in relation to the transfer of Ismaël Bangoura.
