The LNR has granted the request of the red and black authorities to play the first match of the season away, while the modernization work (lighting and sound) of the Toulon stadium should be completed at the beginning of September . "If all goes well, we should have the stadium in its optimized form for the second match of the season," president Bernard Lemaitre told us on July 5.
