The Racing Club of Strasbourg won its first friendly match of the season against AS Naingois, with a score of 2-1, in a match played in Colmair. Coach Liam Rosenior expressed satisfaction with this first victory, highlighting the rapid adaptation of new recruits such as Mathis Amougou, Maximillian Oyedelé and Pope Demba Diop. He also highlighted the gradual improvement of the team, despite some technical errors inherent in this preparation period. The team presented an experimental defense and made seven changes at the break, but managed to maintain its hierarchy and impose itself.

Valentin Barco, a versatile player, should be available for the next game against Galatasaray, according to his coach. He had initially declared the game against Naingois as a result of a knee stroke during a training, but Rosenior confirms that this is a minor problem. The game against Naingois saw goals of Rayane Messi and Eméghan Emégha, on a largely filled Colmair stadium. The team showed signs of progress in the second period, with entries of incumbent players that allowed to regain automation and take advantage.

The match was marked by a good overall performance of the team, despite a slower start to the match and marked by intense dry cleaning by Naingois. Rayane Messi was particularly prominent on her left, opening the score on a closed angle strike. The team was then able to manage its lead, despite an equalization of Naingois on an annoyed center. The composition of the teams was varied, with tactical changes at half-time and an opportunity to see new recruits in action. The Racing Club in Strasbourg is therefore preparing to continue its preparation with the aim of strengthening its team before the start of the season.
