History, results and tables

It was the two- point rule; case of a tie, the goal difference was the decisive factor for the placement. Because the league was increased at the end of the season, had the tables - 16th no Barrage with the second division third unsubscribe.

After some initial difficulties Reims had in December can put on top of the table and gave this place until the end of the season not starting. One week after the last point game won by the Red -Whites also the cup final against runner- Nimes, secured by the Doublé and represented the Division 1 in the following playout of the European Cup. With seven points behind closed the south of France and Monaco Followers Nîmes, which, in the course of the season the team had also joined from Angers, from the season. That especially the Monegasque with their "iron defense " and " the right wing of Reims Glovacki / Hidalgo " the master had no more can stand up, but was also due to the bleeding from which they were not alone, but particularly affected: mid- April 1958, leaving a number of Algerian professionals in a cloak-and - dagger operation their clubs to be - its still under French rule homeland was at war against the "mother country" - the football team of the FLN to join, and among them were central pillars from Monaco Elf ( goalkeeper Boubekeur as well as intelligence chief and Zitouni Ben Tifour two national players). The defending champion from Saint- Étienne, which certainly easy to often contented themselves throughout the season with a tie (a total of 17 times ) and fell back into midfield had lost by this political action with Mekhloufi a very important player.

In the lower regions of the table threatened the "big" Olympique Marseille even the descent, because 31 Matchday still was quite the designated occupied eleven in last place, but could by a small sprint with a final lean Home 1: 1 against Sedan and thanks to the minimal goal difference at the last second saved. Not much better cut in Nice, the storm at home had indeed achieved impressive 54 hits, but away only a shadow of himself was stayed. So had to Metz and freshman Béziers the transition to Division 2 compete; due to the increase in the first league to 20 teams they were replaced the next season by FC Nancy, Rennes UC, FC Limoges and Racing Strasbourg.
