There were 34 promoted teams from the Division d'Honneur, replacing the 32 teams that were relegated from the Championnat de France amateur 2 following the 2010–11 season. A total of 72 teams competed in the league with 32 clubs suffering relegation to the sixth division, the Division d'Honneur. All non-reserve clubs that secured league status for the season were subject to approval by the DNCG before becoming eligible to participate in the competition.[4][5]

DNCG rulings

edit

On 26 May 2011, following a preliminary review of each club's administrative and financial accounts in the Championnat National, the DNCG ruled that Grenoble would be relegated to the Championnat de France amateur (CFA) after the organization determined that the club was enduring financial difficulties. The organization also excluded relegated Championnat de France amateur club Toulon from participating in the CFA 2 and relegated both Agde and Chambéry to the fifth division.[6] Chambéry had finished as the champions of the 2010–11 edition of the CFA 2. On 4 June, the DNCG announced that, for the second consecutive season, Calais would not be allowed to ascend to the CFA, which meant the club would be returning to the fifth division.[7] All clubs had the option to appeal the rulings.[8]

On 22 June, L'Entente SSG was relegated to the fifth division after the club declared bankruptcy. On 4 July, Grenoble confirmed on its website that the Appeals Board of the DNCG had informed club officials that it will be relegated to the fourth division.[9] Grenoble, subsequently, entered liquidation on 7 July, which made the club unable to participate in the CFA. The club was eventually inserted into the CFA 2. On the same day as the Grenoble ruling, the DNCG also rejected the appeals of Toulon and Calais.[10] Division d'Honneur club Sézanne took up Toulon's position in the CFA 2. On 24 August, the Executive Committee of the French Football Federation announced that RC Strasbourg would be relegated to the CFA 2 after a Strasbourg tribunal ordered the club to enter liquidation.[11] Strasbourg will, subsequently, replaced its reserve team in the division as they cannot appear in the same division as its parent club.
