Change of calendar and departure of a player at the Racing Club in Strasbourg

Ligue 1 changed the match schedule between the Racing Club in Strasbourg and Le Havre, originally scheduled for Saturday 13 September 2025 at 7 p.m. In agreement with beIN Sport and Ligue 1+, the meeting will now take place on Sunday 14 September 2025 at 5.15 p.m. This change allows multiplex and full distribution on the Ligue 1+ platform. This decision aims to maximize the visibility of the game to the public and to optimize broadcast for viewers.

In addition, the Racing Club in Strasbourg formalized the start of its left side Ishé Samuels-Smith towards Chelsea. The 19-year-old was loaned to Swansea after his arrival at the club on 30 July 2025, initially purchased 7.5 million euros. He did not play an official match with Strasbourg, just two friendly matches. His visit to Chelsea marks the end of this loan period.

The club expressed its gratitude for Samuels-Smith’s time in Strasbourg, while wishing the player good luck for the rest of his career. This start represents a change in the Racing defensive composition, which will have to find a solution to fill the gap left by the young English defender. This decision follows an assessment of the club’s needs and an opportunity to return to Chelsea for the player.
