Teams

edit

Twelve teams were set to take part in this season, including eight teams retained from last season's lineup. They were joined by US Saint-Malo and Toulouse, promoted from Division 3 Féminine to replace relegated sides Albi Marssac and Montauban. Additionally, Lille and Bordeaux entered the league following their relegation from Division 1.[6] In September 2024, the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) of the French Football Federation excluded the women's section of Girondins de Bordeaux from national divisions.[7] Consequently, the team was relegated to the regional level.[8]
