Charleroi is challenging its relegation to D1 FFA and has put the Union belge on notice. The club has published a communiqué detailing the action. The Royal Olympic Club Charleroi has put the Union belge on notice and the court has scheduled a hearing for July 10, 2026. The club is disputing the decision of the Pro League to relegate them to D1 FFA. It's a case that involves the quotas for U23 teams in the Challenger Pro League. The Autoriteit belge de la concurrence had previously decided that this system is in breach of competition rules. The Centre belge d'arbitrage pour le sport had granted Charleroi their professional license for the 2026-2027 season on appeal. The club believes that the decision to relegate them is unfair and has the support of their fans and partners. The court will make a ruling in this case on July 10, 2026. Charleroi hopes that the court will rule in their favor and that they can continue to play in the Challenger Pro League. The club would like to thank all supporters and partners for their support during this difficult time. It's an important case for the club and for Belgian football in general. The club is taking a constructive approach and is respectful of the authorities. They are confident that the court will examine the arguments and make a fair decision.
