Pre-season and friendlies
Win Draw Loss Fixtures
Pau FC resumed training on July 1, 2024. Initially, the club planned a training camp in Chalosse, but Hagetmau served as a base camp for the Paraguayan Olympic team during this period. As a result, the team relocated to Loudenvielle in the Pyrenees for an altitude camp from July 22 to 26. With Henri Saivet's departure, Bingourou Kamara is now the captain. Seven National 3 players start the pre-season with the professional squad: Massiré Sylla, Tidjan Diaby, Khalifa Sylla, Tom Gomes, and Alexandre Fernandes, players who were already with the reserve team last season. Two additional players are involved, Salif Lebouath and Fidèle Bongelo.
Here is the list of friendly matches planned for Pau FC in 2024:
- July 13, 2024: vs. Iraq Olympic team in Anglet, behind closed doors for security reasons.
- July 20, 2024: vs. Toulouse FC (Ligue 1) in Blagnac (Haute-Garonne).
- July 27, 2024: vs. Niort (National) in La Brède (Gironde).
- August 3, 2024: vs. Rodez in Blagnac (Haute-Garonne).
- August 10, 2024: vs. the reserve team of Real Sociedad in Hagetmau.
Changes in preparation
- The match against the Iraq Olympic team was canceled due to logistical reasons by the Lions of Babylon. In replacement, Nicolas Usaï scheduled an internal match on training ground no. 2 at Nouste Camp.
- At the end of their camp in Loudenvielle, from July 22 to 26, they did not play against Chamois Niortais Football Club in La Brède as initially planned, but traveled to Marseille to face Olympique de Marseille on July 27 at the Robert-Louis-Dreyfus Training Center.
- The match against FC Martigues, initially scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, was canceled at the request of the promoted team, which will visit Nouste Camp on the 4th day of Ligue 2 on September 14. Martigues preferred to avoid two close encounters in the schedule, and Pau FC ended up facing Real Valladolid Club de Fútbol at Estadio José Zorrilla on July 31.
