Teams

On July 15, the FFF ratified the constitution of the competition, and published the groups as follows:

  • 71 teams that finished in 3rd to 11th position in the 2015–16 Championnat de France Amateur 2 groups. The 72nd team, Châtellerault, were administratively relegated.
  • 3 teams that finished in 2nd position in the 2015–16 Championnat de France Amateur 2 groups, but were the lowest ranked 2nd placed teams.
  • 3 teams that finished in 12th position in the 2015–16 Championnat de France Amateur 2 groups, but were the highest ranked 12th placed teams.
  • 8 teams relegated from 2015–16 Championnat de France amateur after any reprieves (Sarre-Union, Troyes reserves, Aubervilliers, Roye Noyon, Sochaux reserves, Bayonne, Bordeaux reserves and Stade Bordelais)
  • 22 teams promoted from Regional Division d'Honneur (Lozère, Blois, Chamalières, Cozes, Créteil reserves, Avranches reserves, Fléchois, Furiani-Agliani, Grasse, Limonest, Louhans-Cuiseaux, Lunéville, Maubeuge, Ornans, Pau reserves, Prix-lès-Mézières, Quevilly reserves, Rodéo, Les Herbiers reserves, Senlisienne, Strasbourg Vauban and Vannes)
  • 4 teams reprieved from relegation from 2015–16 Championnat de France Amateur 2 groups. (Angoulême, Aubagne, Tourcoing and Lannion)
  • The reserve team of new club Sporting Club Toulon, formed by the merger of Toulon-Le Las and Toulon.

    • On 9 August, the FFF confirmed the decision by Évian TG not to participate in the CFA 2 with their reserve team following the club's recent receivership. Because the decision comes after 15 July, there will be no replacement and Group F will instead operate with 13 clubs.

    SU Divaise finished 1st in DH Basse-Normandie, but were denied promotion due to not having a youth team. However this ruling was successfully appealed, however the decision was not binding on the FFF.

    On 20 September the Tribunal Administratif de Paris (Administrative Court of Paris) upheld the decision of the Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français that SU Divaise should be promoted to CFA 2. This ruling gave the FFF 10 days to place SU Divaise into a CFA 2 group. The FFF may still appeal to the Conseil d'Etat, however the Administrative Court ruling is not suspended for any appeal.

    On 21 September the FFF published a revision to CFA 2 Group F, including SU Divaise in the group.
