As they head back to Soquence this Monday 1^is Julyin small groups, for a battery of medical tests, the people of Le Havre now know their summer program before the kick-off of Ligue 1, set for the weekend of August 17-18 with the reception of PSG. A program which was subject to some modifications compared to what was initially announced, notably with the elimination of the first course: the managers of Château du Bois-Guy (Ille-et-Vilaine) having preferred to host the Argentine Olympic selection, in full preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

One unknown remains: the identity of the last opponent in the preparation, Saturday August 10, at the Stade Océane for a “general”-style meeting. It will not be the English Ipswich Town, promoted to the Premier League, as initially planned. Before this final meeting, the “Ciel et Marine” will face US Fougères (N3-R1), Saturday July 20 (4:30 p.m.), at the Soquence training center (behind closed doors), Clermont Foot (relegated to L2), Wednesday July 24 (6 p.m.), in Ballan-Miré (Indre-et-Loire), SM Caen (L2), for the traditional Trophée des Normands, Saturday July 27 (18 hours), at the Stade du Commandant Hébert in Deauville, then two representatives of Eredivisie during their training camp in the Netherlands: AZ Alkmaar (4^e of its championship in 2024), Wednesday July 31 (7 p.m.), and the NEC Nijmegen (6^e), Friday August 2nd (19 hours).
