Amiens call for fans' help in petition against relegation from Ligue 1

Amiens have urged fans to sign a petition against their relegation from Ligue 1 as they "seek justice" after being demoted when the 2019-20 campaign was ended early.

The French government's decision to ban all sporting events until September because of the spread of coronavirus resulted in the Ligue 1 season being finished with most teams having 10 games still to play.

Last week the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) announced the final standings had been decided on a points-per-game basis, with Amiens having 0.14 fewer points than Nimes meaning they, along with bottom side Toulouse, were relegated to Ligue 2.
