The French club have secured promotion into Ligue 1 after a four year absence

Dijon were relegated from Ligue 1 back in 2012, but after an impressive campaign, currently sit top of the Frech second tier.

Their promotion was confirmed today after Le Havre AC only managed to draw against Evian Thonon Gaillard, who are fighting against relegation.

That resultleaves Le Havre 11 points adrift of the league leaders with just three games to play, however they can still catch Metz, who are currently occupying the third and final promotion place.

AS Nancy Lorraine, who are currently in second, now just need one point to secure their place in Ligue 1 next season as a result of the Le Havre draw.
