Angers SCO secures second pre‑season win ahead of Deauville training camp

Angers SCO defeated US Créteil 2–1 on 25 July at the Stade Jacques‑Fould in Alençon, recording a second consecutive friendly victory after earlier beating Les Herbiers. Goals came from Simbakoli (12’) and Courcoul (74’), with Créteil equalising through Ferhaoui (57’). The match also featured the first minutes for new goalkeeper Anthony Lopes in an Angers shirt.

Manager Stéphane Gilli used the win to fine‑tune the squad before a week‑long pre‑season camp in Deauville, Normandy, scheduled to run until 1 August. Captain Haris Belkebla remains sidelined with injury, and several regulars were absent, but the victory is seen as a confidence boost ahead of the upcoming Ligue 1 campaign.
