Gazelec Ajaccio win historic Ligue 1 promotion
GFC Ajaccio's Congolose forward John Tshibumbu (L)
Paris - Arab Today
Corsican minnows Gazelec Ajaccio won promotion to the French Ligue 1 for the first time in their history on Friday.
A double from Congolese striker John Tshibumbu helped the club to a 3-2 win over Niort in Ligue 2 which sealed their fourth promotion from a lower league in five years.
It is a huge exploit for the club who were plying their trade in the third division last season with a budget of just 4.5 million euros ($5.1m).
To host their big-name top flight rivals next season the club's 2,885-seater Ange-Casanova Stadium will be extended to 5,000 this summer.
Their budget for next season, estimated at 12 million euros, will however be two-times less than their Corsican rivals Bastia, and 40 times less than big-spending champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
