The sports association must hold at least one third of the share capital and voting rights at the general meeting of the limited company with a sporting object that it has created.

Except in the case of inheritance, liquidation of community property between spouses or where the equity securities of the company concerned are traded on a financial instruments market, the administrative authority may oppose any transfer of securities conferring voting rights or giving access to the capital of a société anonyme with a sporting object, the conditions or effects of which would be contrary to the provisions of this section.
