AJ Auxerre's C team started its Régional 1 season with a 1-1 draw away at Fauverney's Stade du Temple this Sunday. This result comes as the professional club, 18th in Ligue 1 with 0 points after three losses, prepares to host Nice on September 12th.
The game was a tight and contested affair, ending in a 1-1 stalemate. For Fauverney, making its return to this level, the point carries a particular significance: "Football. Match nul amer pour Fauverney contre l'AJ Auxerre C". The Auxerre side, meanwhile, has to settle for a point on the road in its first match of the season in this division.

AJA finds itself 9 points behind the leaders, Monaco, a significant gap to close as soon as possible.
Focus now shifts to the first team's next outing, which is a key home fixture. Auxerre will host OGC Nice, currently 15th, on Saturday, September 12th, 2026. This match at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps represents a major opportunity to halt the losing streak and secure the first points of the campaign.

Preparation for this clash against Nice will begin this week, with the clear objective of turning around their league position. The coaching staff must find solutions to improve a defence conceding nearly four goals per game on average and reignite an attack that needs to be more clinical.
