AS Saint-Étienne (ASSE) unveiled its summer preparation program, focusing on two intensive courses. The first will take place from 29 June to 5 July in Chambon-sur-Lignon, culminating with a friendly match against the Star Carouge FC (Switzerland) on Saturday 5 July in Andrėzieux-Bouthéon. The entry for this match is set at 6€, free for those under 10. Back in the Etrat, the club will face ESTAC Troyes on July 12 in a closed-door game, allowing the technical staff to refine their tactics.

The second phase of preparation will take place in Aix-les-Bains from 16 to 25 July. This period will be crucial to strengthen the automations and fine-tune the game patterns, with a friendly match against the Servette Genève scheduled on 18 July at 7.30 pm at the Jacques-Forestier stadium. The event will be open to the public, and the prices have been communicated by the club of Aix-les-Bains: 15€ in tribune, 10€ in edge terrain and a discount for children.

The course will end with a match against Paris FC on July 25 at Thonon-les-Bains at 7 p.m. The opening of the ticket office for this meeting aroused criticism about the price of the seats, which some fans considered high. Prices vary from 20€ to 50€ depending on the areas and VIP options. Beyond these friendly meetings, ASSE will also face Cagliari in Italy on August 2, and will start the first day of Ligue 2 in Laval on the weekend of August 8.
