The Division 1 1944-45 was the sixth and final staging of the French football league during the Second World War , the occupation of France by the German Wehrmacht and the subsequent division of the after annexation of Alsace and parts of Lorraine remaining area into a free, reception and a forbidden Zone (zone libre, zone occupée, zone interdite) . This season coincided with the liberation of the country after the Allied landings in Normandy . These so-called "war championships " (championnats de guerre) between 1939 and 1945 - unlike in the national cup  - do not count as official competitions, and the respective winners of one of their seasons have therefore not won an official title .

With this year's event, the experiment carried out by Colonel Pascot , the General Commissioner for Education and Sport in the French Vichy government , was abolished from the previous season , when all club teams had been replaced by so-called "federal selections " (équipes fédéraux) , each after a - partly historical - landscape. Instead, club teams played for the championship again, competing in two geographically compiled twelve-squadrons. Of the 32 teams competing in the before last season in the Division 1 were represented, were missing three ( FC Sochaux , AC Amiens , AS Troyes-Savinienne ) from occupied and five ( FC Grenoble , ESA Brive , FC Annecy , USA Perpignan , AS Avignon ) from “free” France; In addition, the SC Fives did not take part due to its merger with local rivals Olympique Iris Club Lille for OSC Lille . But with the US Valenciennes-Anzin a new team was added.

The two-point rule applied ; in the event of a tie, the goal quotient was decisive for the placement. With a total of 1,127 hits in the 261 matches that were not decided at the “green table”, the average was 4.3 goals per game.

Group north

In the end, the team from Rouen prevailed quite confidently against their main pursuers; on the one hand, their strength at home contributed to this - the "Red Devils" only dropped two points at home, the main pursuers Lens and Red Star only three each - but even more their performance in the opposing stadiums, where they won seven out of only three Introduce defeats. In the end, even the two most attacking teams in the group, Reims and Lille, could not keep up, especially since they lost points at home against supposedly easy opponents. At the lower end of the table, Roubaix and Le Havre in particular were beaten early on, with Excelsior already being in merger negotiations with other clubs from Roubaix and Tourcoing during the second half of the season, from which the CO Roubaix-Tourcoing was to emerge for the following season .

Group south

The course of the season was characterized by a neck-and-neck race between the teams from Lyon and Bordeaux for group victory, which were able to clearly differentiate themselves from the other competitors. The two immediate clashes each saw a victory for the home team (4-0 in Bordeaux and 5-1 in Lyon ); In this duel, Lyon OU only got the upper hand thanks to its significantly better goal quotient. After 22 matchdays there was a tie in the duel for third place between Sète and Clermont, who were able to leave Marseille behind, whose striker Emmanuel Aznar won five times in a 7-3 win against Saint-Étienne. Another striker also made a name for himself: Alès' Marcel Rouvière scored a total of 17 goals, exactly half of all his team's goals.
