The 2024-25 Championnat National 3 is the eighth season of the fifth tier in the French football league system in its current format. For this season only, the competition is contested by 140 clubs split geographically across 10 groups of 14 teams. The teams include amateur clubs (although a few are semi-professional) and the reserve teams of professional clubs. The competition starts on 25 August 2024 and is scheduled to end on 26 May 2025. [1]
On 16 July 2024, the FFF ratified the constitution of the competition, and published the groups. [2]
Changes from the 2023–24 season were as follows:
Region | Team | Method of qualification |
---|---|---|
Nouvelle-Aquitaine | Bassin d'Arcachon | Champion, R1 Group C |
Pays de la Loire | La Roche-sur-Yon | Champion, R1 Group B |
Centre-Val de Loire | Chartres | Champion, R1 |
Corse | Sud FC | Champion, R1 Corse |
Méditerranée | Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat | Champion, R1 Méditerranée |
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté | Montceau-les-Mines | Champion, R1 Group A |
Grand Est | Sarreguemines | Champion, R1 Group B |
Occitanie | Aigues-Mortes | Champion, R1 Group A |
Hauts-de-France | Calais | Champion, R1 Group C |
Normandy | Grand-Quevilly | Champion, R1 Group B |
Brittany | Cesson-Sévigné | Champion, R1 Group B |
Paris Île-de-France | Torcy | Champion, R1 Group B |
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes | Seyssinet-Pariset | Champion, R1 Group C |
If eligible, the top team in each group is promoted to Championnat National 2. If a team finishing top of the group is ineligible, or declines promotion, the next eligible team in that group is promoted.
This season a total of 40 teams will be relegated to Régional 1, as a result of the restructuring of the French leagues. [5] [6] This will result in teams finishing in the bottom three places being relegated, along with the four worst eleventh-placed clubs, calculated from results against the teams placed 5th to 10th in their group. [7] Initially, it was planned the worst tenth was to be relegated, but the administrative relegation of FC Girondins de Bordeaux changed that. [8]
Reserve teams whose training centres are categorised as category 2B or lower cannot be promoted to Championnat National 2 by the rules of the competition.
