Despite finishing 16th in Ligue 2 last season, Sochaux were demoted to the third tier due to their financial situation in June.
Gazelec were consequently due to retain their second-tier status despite suffering a play-off defeat against Le Mans, but Sochaux’s sanction was overturned in July.
An appeal was subsequently lodged by Gazelec and with the case not yet settled they refused to field a team for the clash with Red Star.
It remains to be seen what action the French Football Federation take against Gazelec.
