Sochaux

Ligue 2, France

Sochaux are one of France's great industrial clubs, created around Peugeot and twice crowned French champions. Financial problems nearly destroyed the professional club in 2023 and forced an administrative drop to the third tier. They are back in Ligue 2 for 2026/27 - finish the rescue and return a historic academy club to Ligue 1.
