The 2015-16 campaign was a turbulent but memorable year for FC Sochaux, ultimately delivering a 15th-place finish in Ligue 2 as the club navigated a period of immense change. The season was defined by the transition under new Chinese ownership from long-time patrons Peugeot and managerial changes, yet Les Lionceaux mounted a sensational, unpredicted run to the Coupe de France semi-final. Leading the line with his explosive pace and finishing was the emerging forward Karl Toko Ekambi, whose 11 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on resilience and a desperate, but successful, battle to consolidate their position in the professional ranks.
