Led by former Senegalese international footballer Habib Beye, Red Star’s promotion was virtually assured ahead of their encounter with Dijon, as they maintained a comfortable lead over their rivals in the National league standings. Even a loss against Dijon would not jeopardize their promotion hopes, given the results of other matches.
The anticipation was palpable as Red Star returned to their home turf to face Dijon, with fans eagerly awaiting a celebratory victory.
However, despite their best efforts, Red Star suffered a 2-0 defeat against Dijon.
Nevertheless, the defeat did not dampen the spirits of Red Star supporters, as simultaneous results elsewhere sealed their promotion to Ligue 2.
Martigues’ draw against Cholet meant that they could no longer catch up with Red Star in the standings, securing Red Star’s promotion to the higher division.
In a jubilant announcement on social media, Red Star FC exclaimed, “WEEEEERE THERE! 🤩 Red Star FC is in League 2 BKT!!! Red Star returns to L2 after 5 years, but this time: HERE! At NOUUUS! AT THE BAUER STADIUM, 26 years after the last L2 match in its stadium!”
The promotion marks a significant achievement for Red Star FC, signaling their return to Ligue 2 after a five-year absence.
For fans and players alike, it represents the culmination of hard work, determination, and a shared commitment to success.
As Red Star prepares to compete in Ligue 2 once again, the club and its supporters can look forward to an exciting new chapter in their footballing journey, filled with opportunities for growth, success, and continued pride in representing their community on the national stage.
