Le Havre AC, winner of group A at the end of the last day on Sunday May 22, and Rodez AF, dominating group B, will evolve next season in D1 Arkema.
If the case had been heard for several days for Rodez AF, which flew over the group B of the Women’s Division 2, she decided in the group A at the end of the last matches of the 22nd and last day, played on Sunday May 22. And it’s Le Havre AC (main photo) which accompanies the Aveyronnaises in the elevator leading to Division 1 Arkema, at the end of the 34th edition of a competition celebrating its fortieth anniversary this season.
GROUP A: LE HAVRE TO BON PORT
Counting a point ahead of FC Nantes before the last day, Le Havre AC did not tremble in front of Vendenheim (4-0), last and already relegated. This success allows them to keep first place, synonymous with accession, despite the victory of their Nantes runners-up on the road to RC Lens (1-4).
