2001–02 French Division 2

The 2001/02 season was the 63rd staging of the French Football Division 2 and also the last under that name. These were a league exclusively with professional teams. Second-division champion AC Ajaccio.

Were eligible to the 15 clubs who were relegated after the previous season, either in the first division on - even in the third league (National) or lower; to Erstligaabsteiger two and three climbers came from the National. Thus, in this season following 20 teams played for the championship of Division 2: relegated Movers

  • Three from the north (ES Wasquehal, intermediate SC Amiens, Beauvais )
  • One from the Greater Paris area ( U.S. Créteil )
  • Four from the Pacific Northwest (Le Havre AC, SM Caen, Stade Laval, Le Mans UC)
  • Three from the Northeast (AS Nancy, relegated Racing Strasbourg, FC Gueugnon )
  • Two from the southwest (LB Châteauroux, Chamois Niort )
  • Six from the southeast ( relegated AS Saint -Etienne, Grenoble Up Football, Olympique Nimes, FC Martigues, promoted FC Istres -Ville Nouvelle, OGC Nice)
  • One from Corsica (AC Ajaccio )

Direct climb right this time were the four top-ranked clubs, because the first division should be increased to twenty teams from 2002. The two lowest ranked participants had to dismount and were replaced by four third-division promoted.

Course of the season and Table

Each team wore against each group opponent a back and a leg off, even before a home crowd and once away. It was the three- point rule; case of a tie, the goal difference was the decisive factor for the placement.

Surprisingly, neither of the two Erstligaabsteiger fetched with the sonorous name the second division championship, but the AC Ajaccio, who had heard in the previous three seasons rather to the "gray mice " in mid-table. Behind it, a position battle between Strasbourg, Nice and Le Havre had developed, in which no other team was able to intervene. France's record champion from Saint- Étienne finished off even only in the lower part of the standings, with even a modest climber as Amiens let the Stéphanois still behind. Given the fact that this time was sufficient even the 18th place for the league and had emerged relatively early with Nîmes and Martigues the two relegated that season was generally rather low stress, which is also reflected in a once again particularly high number of undecided outgoing encounters expressed.

In the 380 matches 861 goals were scored; which corresponds to an average of just 2.3 goals per game. Goalscorer and thus winning the league's top scorer was Hamed Diallo by freshman from Amiens with 19 goals. For the following season came with FC Metz and FC Lorient two relegated from Division 1 added; from the third- highest division increased to four teams: Clermont Foot Auvergne, Stade Reims, Toulouse FC and ASOA Valence. Moreover, the first and the second division in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 have been renamed.
