Pre-season and friendlies

  Win   Draw   Loss   Fixtures

Pau FC resumed training on July 1, 2024. Initially, the club planned a training camp in Chalosse, but Hagetmau served as a base camp for the Paraguayan Olympic team during this period. As a result, the team relocated to Loudenvielle in the Pyrenees for an altitude camp from July 22 to 26. With Henri Saivet's departure, Bingourou Kamara is now the captain. Seven National 3 players start the pre-season with the professional squad: Massiré Sylla, Tidjan Diaby, Khalifa Sylla, Tom Gomes, and Alexandre Fernandes, players who were already with the reserve team last season. Two additional players are involved, Salif Lebouath and Fidèle Bongelo.
