Bastia is preparing its return to Ligue 3 with caution, according to FFF president Philippe Diallo. In an interview in Ajaccio, he highlighted the value and contribution of Corsican football. The Corsican club has had a difficult season, with the Sporting's relegation this year. Philippe Diallo recalled the time when Corsica had four professional clubs at the same time, which is extraordinary compared to the population. Today, we are in the trough of the wave after what happened to ACA last year. The FFF president also highlighted the recognition by the federation of the contribution of Corsican football to French football. The FFF is solid and has presented a record budget for the 2026-2027 season. The accounts will be presented in December and will be in balance. The federation has also given massive support to a historic project concerning a professional Ligue 3, managed within the federation.
