Coaches Cris and Michael Ciani of the UNFP FC coaching staff reviewed two weeks of preseason work, noting individual player interviews, physical and tactical assessments and a focus on group cohesion. They highlighted a forthcoming friendly in England against a PFA‑organized squad, stressing playing time and collective comfort over the result.
Dijon FCO opened its preseason with a 4‑1 victory over a Côte‑d’Or departmental selection. Coach Baptiste Ridira criticised the first‑half efficiency but praised a stronger second half, with Domingues scoring twice and Ndezi adding a goal. The win was followed by a schedule of further training camps and matches, including a four‑day stint in Vichy and upcoming fixtures against Le Puy, UNFP, and a Luxembourg side.
Both clubs use these preparatory matches to evaluate new players, build tactical understanding and fine‑tune fitness before the competitive season begins.
