The season 1974/75 was the 36th staging of the French football Division 2 It was since 1970 an open championship with professionals and amateurs. Second-division champion was the AS Nancy.

Were eligible to the 26 clubs who were relegated after the previous season, either in the first division on - even in the third league (National); to three Erstligaabsteiger and six climbers came from the National. These 35 participants played in two scheduled primarily on a regional basis groups (one with teams from the north and west, as well as with teams from the South and East). Thus, in this season the following teams played for the championship of Division 2:

  • Group A: U.S. Dunkerque, SC Hazebrouck, U.S. Grand Boulogne, U.S. Valenciennes Anzin, AC Cambrai, Amiens SC Movers, Movers CS Sedan, FC Rouen, CA Mantes, relegated Paris FC, ​​Entente Bagneaux - Fontainebleau - Nemours, Movers AJ Auxerre, FC Gueugnon, Stade Laval Stade Up Quimper, Brest, Lorient, AS Angoulême

Ascent were entitled to teams first and the winner of the play-offs between the two runners-up. A relegation between the lowest ranked first division, which does not directly descended, and the best, not directly climb legitimate second division there was not time.

Course of the season and tables

Each team wore against each group opponent a back and a leg off, even before a home crowd and once away. It was the two- point rule; case of a tie was the goal difference and, if these should be the same - as this year between Tours and Chaumont -, the higher number of goals scored the decisive factor for the placement. An additional bonus point awarded each team regardless of the outcome of the game for each game in which they had scored at least three goals, as well as for each win with two or more hits difference; by the attacking football should be encouraged. In France, the number of plus points is called when specifying the point ratio exclusively; Again, this is done in Germany in the days of the 2- point rule usual notation.

Unlike in the previous year, the bonus rule worked this time also to the relevant season decisions. Had the association alone that reached in the games Counter after 2-1 -0 rating, so no bonus points into consideration, the two climbers not direct Valenciennes and Nancy, but Rouen, Toulon had told. But as the Normans had in the play-offs - where they failed then - and the southerners did not even get due to their goal difference compared to Avignon this "last chance". In the descent question, however, the bonus had an impact not critical, although it Mulhouse had the good fortune that had to compete in Group B only two instead of the usual three teams the transition to the third tier. Five of the six newcomers to the Division 2 kept the class - only Quimper proved early on to be too weak to keep up - while the Erstligaabsteiger from Paris just under the " walkover " in the first escaped into the third division.

In the 578 encounters 1,554 goals were scored; which corresponds to an average of just 2.7 goals per game and thus - despite the attempt to reward an attacking style of play - a slight decline from the previous season. Successful scorers were in group A Georg Tripp from Laval and 25 in group B Joaquim Martínez from the Master Nancy with 26 goals; The latter thus won the league top scorer. In Martínez 'Elf was another very prolific player with the 19 -year-old talent Michel Platini.

For the following season were added three relegated from Division 1 with SCO Angers, Rennes and the Red Star FC. From the third highest league of six teams went on directly, could boast of which Stade Malherbe Caen, Gazelec FC Ajaccio and the Jeune Garde Athlétique Nevers already second division experience, while the Union Sportive Municipale Malakoff, Stade Olympique Cholet and Sports Réunis Saint- Dié absolute newcomers to this level were.

Determination of the master and the third climber

The two group winners met each other in return game to determine this year's champion of Division 2. The AS Nancy reached first at the U.S. Valenciennes Anzin 0-0, won the return match against the groups 4-0 and thus secured the championship title.

According to the same mode, the two runners-up were fighting for another promotion place in the top flight. Olympique Avignon put in the first leg before a 3-0 victory at FC Rouen and then defeated only with 0:2. To the South of France succeeded for the first time in their history, the rise in the first division after they were about repeated only narrowly missed in the past few years.
