societies
After the Division 2 in the preseason à into two regional groups of 14 participants had been discharged, the competent returned federation FFF for one-track (poule unique) back. The 20 clubs that had not been promoted to the first division or given up their professional status after the previous season were eligible to participate. There were also two first division relegated teams. There were no newcomers who had assumed professional status this season.
Thus the following 22 teams were represented this season:
- three teams from the far north ( US Valenciennes-Anzin , SA Douai , AC Amiens ),
- two from Paris and Champagne ( CA Paris , AS Troyes-Savinienne ).
- three from the northeast ( SR Colmar , Racing Franc-Comtois Besançon , relegated FC Sochaux ),
- four from the west ( US Le Mans , FC Nantes , SCO Angers , AS des Charentes Angoulême ),
- ten from the southeast (relegated Lyon Olympique Universitaire , Stade Clermont , USA Perpignan , AS Béziers , Olympique Alès , Olympique Nîmes , AS Avignon , SC Toulon , Olympique Antibes-Juan-les-Pins , OGC Nice ).
A direct promotion and relegation depending on the sporting result had previously only existed between the first and second professional division; after the Second World War , a permanent descent into the third highest division had now been introduced. In addition, a second division could be relegated if he surrendered his license or if it was revoked. Previous amateur teams, however, could only continue to move up to Division 2 for the following season if they received approval from the association to assume professional status.
Season course
Each team played a return match against each group opponent, once in front of their own audience and once away. The two-point rule applied ; in the event of a tie, the goal difference was decisive for the placement. In France, when specifying the point ratio, only the number of plus points is given; here this is done in the notation used in Germany at the time of the 2-point rule.
Division 1 relegated Sochaux was the "over team" this season, which only left the opponent both points in less than every tenth game. Although the defense of the " Peugeot factory club " was not the firmest in the league - five competitors had to accept fewer goals - the attack line overcame the opposing goalkeeper game after game on average three and a half times. This corresponded exactly to the average number of hits that two teams scored per game during this season (1,606 goals in 462 matches). Accordingly, the league shooter king came from the “young lions” - “Lionceaux” is the nickname for Sochaux's players most commonly used into the 21st century -: Josef Humpál alone scored 45 of the 141 goals of his team, in the one with the experienced Roger Courtois and Ladislav Dupal and the young talent René Gardien were other dangerous strikers. Behind Sochaux, six teams fought for the second promotion place for a long time, which was finally secured by the “miners footballers” from Alès (also with over 100 goals) before Angers. These two opponents had just missed the leap into Division 1 in the previous season as third in the group .
At the bottom of the table, for which the association had set three relegation places in order to reduce the second division again, Antibes, a founding member of the professional game business from 1932/33, was beaten early and had to go along with Perpignan and Toulon - for the latter, however, this only decided on 42 Matchday - step into the amateur area. At the end of the season, Stade Clermont also gave up its professional status. For the following season , the four relegated first division players Racing Lens , Girondins Bordeaux , Le Havre AC and FC Rouen , but no lower class club, so that the second division then played with 20 participants.
