Currently, professional football in Europe is in a deep financial crisis. Amidst the five major European leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain), only France is not in a bad situation despite this country suffering from a low level of the demand from fans and a weakness in the urban system. The aim of this article is to show how the better regulation of the French organization explains this success.
