AC Ajaccio wished its supporters a happy new year with a lot of bad news about its financial situation.
Seventeenth in Ligue 2 after sixteen days, AC Ajaccio is in a delicate sporting situation. But it is not only on the pitch that the situation is tense for the Corsican club. Behind the scenes too, bad news is piling up. While wishing its supporters a happy new year, the ACA revealed that its financial situation was critical.
“The sponsorship contract duly signed with a Portuguese group was not honored! 5 million budgeted euros thus disappeared… Mr. Fattaccioli, in charge of finances for several years, had to solicit investors to recover part of the funds guaranteeing the loan for some of our land” first explains AC Ajaccio on its official website before continuing.
-“This year, after being informed by the authorities that we had to present a budget based on the television rights of the previous season, it turns out that 2 million have disappeared due to the spectacular drop in said rights. With the urgency of a sale becoming pressing, Mr. Fattaccioli, in contact with a group of buyers, signed a sale protocol with effect from August 31. The buyers undertook to ensure the maintenance of the club and planned the construction of a hotel of which 50% of the income would go to the ACA. After asking for a postponement until December 31, while guaranteeing their commitment, they finally withdrew. We therefore find ourselves in a critical situation. It must be clarified that Mr. Fattaccioli's good faith cannot be called into question since he himself found 3 million euros paid to the club at the end of last June. We are mobilized to find a solution even if there is reason to be concerned” concluded AC Ajaccio, for whom the year 2025 promises to be very difficult even if the hope of a sale is still present to save the club.
