The Paris FC, who finished 11th in their first season in the top division, aims to improve their performance this year. With a summer transfer budget that ranks them as the second-highest spenders in Ligue 1, the club hopes to reap the rewards on the pitch. However, their pre-season preparation has been mixed, with one win, two draws, and two losses. The team, led by new coach Liam Rosenior, will need to step up their game to meet their ambitions.
Troyes, the champions of Ligue 2 from the previous season, have chosen to maintain continuity in the 2026-2027 season, with limited transfers. Despite the departure of several key players, the team has a strong youth setup and a solid centre of formation. Their pre-season preparation has been impressive, with four wins and two draws against teams such as Auxerre, Panelotikos, Nancy, Red Star, Grenoble, and Reims.
The match between Troyes and Paris FC ended with a score of 2-1 in favour of Troyes.
