Pour la première journée de la saison 2024-2025 de National, Nîmes Olympique accueille l’US Orléans, au stade des Antonins, ce vendredi 16 août à 19 h 30.

It's a new adventure that Nîmes Olympique is getting ready to experience starting this Friday evening. Following a turbulent 2023-2024 season, with a change of coach and a fight to stay relevant until the last moment, the Crocodiles will want to get down to a more peaceful new one.

Getting your season off to a good start

To achieve this, coach Adil Hermach advocated a game-based preparation for a group that has been largely changed compared to last season. With 6 arrivals and 11 departures, this group will need to find an osmosis. The preparation was rather successful with five wins for three defeats.

The team that should start this Friday evening will have some familiar names from last year but many new players should be in the starting line-up. Abdeldjelil should start up front in particular, in an attack that saw the departures of Mbemba, Mbina, Doucouré and Sané in the off-season.

It should be noted that attacking midfielder Marcel, who will start for NO, is arriving from… Orléans.
