And if you're going to pay attention to some Ligue 2 (the second best league in the world, source : me) then
>LIGUE 2 QRD and SOVL indicator
>Amiens SC
One of the "what-ifs" of northern football, they've spent ages in National and everyone wondered if they'd ever have it in them to climb to Ligue 2. They did in 2015-16. And in 2016-17 they climbed to Ligue 1 at the end of the most unbelievably KINO title race in recent memory. No, seriously, look it up, it even has an writeup on english language wikipedia.
They have a really nice stadium too, and pretty good attendance.
>Annecy
Low-table mountain boys. Had one of the weirdest incident happen to them a few seasons ago which started one of the most unusual rivalries. At the very end of the 22-23 season, Annecy was in a relegation battle. So was Rodez, which was playing in Bordeaux. During the game, a guy jumped into the pitch and punched one of the Rodez players leading to the cancellation of the match and putting the relegation race in a really weird spots because this cancellation could lead to Rodez getting a default win which would mean Annecy would be relegated. It then turned out that the guy was from Annecy, leading some to speculate he was trying to shift the game against Rodez to help Annecy stay up. The club put out a statement saying this was a betrayal of competition and they would not accept this outcom, the club owner announced he would sue Rodez for financial compensation. Rodez ownership accused them of underhandedly promoting violence. There has been some bad blood between the two ever since.
In the end, Annecy was scheduled to be relegated but wasn't because of shenanigans surrounding the financial situation in Sochaux. It's complicated.
