Faut-il maintenir un championnat amateur ou créer une ligue professionnelle ? Le cas du troisième niveau du football français

Revue d'économie financière, 2024, vol. N° 154, issue 2, 153-163

Abstract: The third tier of French football is a ?mixed? league in which clubs that temporarily retain professional status play alongside clubs that are supposed to be amateur and that employ people whose profession is to play football. We analyse the extent to which this duality is the source of distortions between clubs, distortions that are prejudicial to fairness and to the attractiveness of sporting events. JEL classification:
