The Division 2 1964/65 was the 26th staging of the second highest French football league .

The first match day was August 30, 1964, the last day May 29, 1965. There was a winter break between mid-December and mid-January. Second division champions were the OGC Nice .

societies

Eligible were the 13 clubs that had not been promoted to the first division after the previous season or had given up their license - voluntarily or by force; there were also three first division relegated teams.

Thus, the following 16 teams played for the division 2 championship this season :

There was only a direct promotion and relegation depending on the sporting result between the first and second professional division; After the Second World War , a descent into the third highest division had been introduced over a few years, but this was no longer in force. A second division officer could relegate alone in the event that he surrendered his license or it was withdrawn from him. Previous amateur teams, on the other hand, could only continue to move up to Division 2 for the following season if they received approval from the responsible association FFF to assume professional status.
This season there was again a relegation between the worst-placed first division team who were not directly relegated and the best second division team who were not directly eligible for promotion.

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.

The three direct promotion places this time occupied last year's relegated Nice as well as two teams with Red Star from Saint-Ouen and Cannes that had only shown second division mediocre in the previous three seasons. The same applied to the two relegation participants Limoges and Boulogne, who subsequently remained in Division 2 . The supposed “big names” in the league (Metz, Reims, Paris or Marseille) all placed behind. The "red lantern" in the final ranking was, as in the previous season and again with a clear gap to the table penultimate, the AS Biterroise from the rugby stronghold of Béziers .

A total of 652 hits were scored in the 240 encounters; this corresponds to an average of 2.72 goals per game and represents a new record low in league history. Antoine Groschulski from Red Star won the top scorer with 22 goals. The Division 2 - as the French football as a whole - including the increasing Torarmut contributed was suffering mid-1960s on a strongly declining viewer interest in the games. The eleven of the once “big” club Olympique Marseille, for example, played against Forbach at the end of April 1965 in front of exactly 434 paying visitors who lost themselves in the wide area of ​​the Stade Vélodrome ; Even Stade Reims, the national champions of 1962 , only wanted to see 2,240 spectators that same month against Besançon, and the clash of Reims against Marseille on the last day of the game also drew just 2,600 people to the Stade Auguste-Delaune .

After the end of the season, none of the clubs gave up their professional status. For the following season , only one relegated from Division 1 , namely SC Toulon , was added. In addition, the football association issued a new professional license to five amateur clubs ( AC Ajaccio , AS Angoulême , Olympique Avignon , SEC Bastia and US Marignane ), so that the second division should then be held with 19 participants.
