As such, a healthy travelling faithful is set to back them at the Stade Gilbert Brutus, with the club confirming last night that more than 800 tickets had already been snapped up and that an extra allocation is now on sale via the Warrington Wolves website.
Supporters will also be pleased to know that away supporters will once again be housed in the corner of the Tribune Puig-Aubert behind the posts.
In recent years, Warrington's visits to Perpignan have seen fans dotted around in various areas of the ground including in two temporary stands with limited views, but they will now move back to the usual away section of the stadium.
All seats are reserved and it has been stressed by both clubs that supporters must sit in their allocated seat.

Travel London 2025: Must-Visit Restaurants & Hotels This Summer
Constantly evolving, London's hospitality scene always has something new to offer, even to those of us who visit the city frequently. From cosy bistros to fine dining experiences; luxury hotels focused on sustainability to cosy hotels with amazing views, this is a guide to some of the hottest restaurants, bars and hotels to visit during your next trip to London. HUMO London Photo: Bacchus HUMO Well deserving of its Michelin star, HUMO breaks the menu down by level of fire used to cook each course. Ignite, Smoke, Flame, and Embers. I opted for the trout sashimi which acts as the perfect start - refreshing, and a great dish to cleanse the palate. Mushrooms followed featuring a gorgeous mix of lion's mane, mousseron, and an Arlington white yolk. The Orkney scallops grilled in direct contact with whisky barrels were sublime. The standout, however, was the Kagoshima A4 black cattle sirloin. The beef melted at a touch and was cooked to perfection. The wine pairing offered with each course has been carefully curated to match and enhance each dish. A refreshing dessert closed of a fantastic combination of dishes, each one playing a crucial role along the adventure of dining at HUMO. If you're looking for a true gastronomical experience and an adventure in dining, HUMO is not to be missed. ALBA Walking into ALBA feels like opening your balcony door to the Amalfi coast. The space is gorgeous, with large windows that fill the room with natural light, olive trees scattered across the restaurant, and fresh vegetables and fish laid out in front of a large open kitchen. While the space is breathtaking, the food is what will stick with you, it certainly did for me. Before delving into each dish, let's touch on the balance of ALBA. While many expect Italian cuisine to sometimes feel somewhat heavy, every dish at ALBA brings balance, making you feel satisfied yet light and content, even as you finish up dessert. The standout dish was also our first - the beef carpaccio is rolled at the table and features fresh arugula and chunks of artichoke, sprinkled with Parmesan and large slices of truffle. A dish that is, as mentioned, beautifully balanced. The burrata was one of the softest and fluffiest I've had while the truffle and cream Tagliolini was light, creamy, and subtle. Last but certainly not least, the pistachio tiramisu is a fantastic take on the classic - and one you'll definitely be back for. ALBA is the spot for an elevated brunch, a lunch date, or even an early dinner before heading out for the night. ALBA London Photo: Ben Carpenter Henri Bistro A cosy bistro with an extensive spirits and wine selection, Henri is the perfect spot for an elevated dining experience, while keeping things casual and comfortable. The menu offers a wide variety of options, be it seafood, meat or vegetarian options. The scallops were fantastic, the octopus well-balanced, and the ribeye cooked to perfection. After dinner, move over to the bar and choose your closing tipple from a selection of whisky, tequila and rum, or opt for a classic cocktail instead. If you're looking for a relaxing evening of great food and tasty cocktails away from the grandiose and noise of Soho, this is your spot. 1 Hotel Mayfair Photo: Bacchus 1 Hotel - Mayfair First on the list and for good reason, 1 Hotel Mayfair is a much-needed calm, natural haven in the center of London. Known for their sustainable initiatives, 1 Hotel Mayfair ties nature into every corner of the hotel, seamlessly, with over 1,000 plants across the property. 1 Hotel features a fantastic spa and wellness centre, and some great options to dine before heading out for the evening. The lively Dover Yard bar (one of my personal favorites in London) offers an extensive whisky and spirits collection, and an immersive cocktail menu. In fact, the new cocktail menu, Regenerative Forces, has just launched, which draws inspiration from the restorative forces that drive nature, fire, water, earth and wind. Last but not least, make sure to dine at the iconic Dove Tale restaurant, led by 2-Michelin Star chef, Tom Sellers. The raw bar offers fresh oysters and caviar, alongside various types British seafood, while the Land section of the menu gives the carnivores among us some fantastic choices. Sharing plates are also offered alongside fresh pasta dishes. The ingredients are all locally sourced, with the fruit and vegetables are sourced within a four hour radius of London. BoTree Hotel Photo: BoTree BoTree Hotel A lovely independent property, BoTree brings guest experience and sustainability to the forefront. The hotel integrates sustainability into the design, in the materials used in the rooms, and in LAVO, the sleek Italian restaurant with West Coast vibes attached to the hotel. The lack of a classic reception allows the team to create a closer connection with the guests, which I felt throughout my whole stay at BoTree, with hosts always there to assist with recommendations or any other matter at hand. Located in Marylebone, the hotel is also at a perfect location to easily step out and explore some of London's most famous neighborhoods. The rooms themselves are full of personality, with brights colors blending in with great woodwork, cheerful artwork, and modern furniture. The rooms make one feel both at home yet still on vacation in this vibrant neighborhood of London. Treehouse Hotel London Credit: Simon Brown Photography Treehouse Hotel The Treehouse hotel brings one back to childhood days spent in a treehouse, albeit - a much more elevated one. Natural colors, wood designs and green all make Treehouse a relaxing, elevated yet budget-friendly option for your next visit to London. At the top of the hotel one can find The Nest, which offers a gorgeous view of London over a cocktail or a coffee. One floor below guests can find Madera, a Mexican restaurant offering a large selection of Mexican classics and sharing plates. Should you feel like venturing out, the surrounding neighborhood has a lot to offer in terms of food and drink, yet not nearly as busy as Mayfair or Soho. There you have it - whether you're on a budget, in town for business, or celebrating a special occasion and wish to pamper yourself - the options above should give everyone a fantastic experience in London.

Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso open to selling Rodrygo this summer
Real Madrid and their new coach Xabi Alonso are open to Brazil forward Rodrygo leaving the club this summer. The 24-year-old made his first appearance for Madrid in 53 days in their opening Club World Cup game (a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal on June 18) but has played only 23 minutes for Alonso in their three matches since. Advertisement Rodrygo did not feature for Madrid towards the end of last season under Carlo Ancelotti and there were concerns at the club about the player sometimes lacking motivation in training, as reported by The Athletic last month. The player's entourage have always denied this. But it was those concerns which led to Ancelotti and Rodrygo agreeing the winger would not be called up for the Italian's first squad as Brazil manager, for the games against Ecuador and Paraguay last month. The player's father (and agent) Eric Goes has complained about Rodrygo's situation at Madrid, with the player sidelined at times because of the high-profile trio of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. Those complaints have not gone down well at various levels of the club. This, along with the player's poor performances, had led Madrid to open the door to a potential sale, pending the decision of their new coach. Alonso took charge at Madrid ahead of the Club World Cup and at that point Rodrygo's future appeared undecided, but now sources at the club, speaking anonymously to protect relationships, have told The Athletic that Madrid and the coach agree the club will not stand in the player's way if a suitable offer is made. When contacted by The Athletic, Madrid said they have no intention of selling the player and expect him to contribute a lot to the team in the future. Arsenal are one of the clubs monitoring Rodrygo, and the club have held preliminary talks with the player's representatives in recent weeks as they weigh up a move. Arsenal's interest in Rodrygo and other left-sided attackers such as Anthony Gordon and Nico Williams (also wanted by Barcelona and Bayern Munich) is well-established. Their interest in Williams has cooled and any of those deals would come at a considerable cost, so in that scenario the club may need to sell to balance the books. Coaching staff at Arsenal really admire Rodrygo, who they believe could be an option on the left and right of their attack, and he has featured in discussions internally since the latter part of last season. Madrid signed Rodrygo from Santos for €40million at the age of 18 in 2019 and he hit the ground running at the Bernabeu, scoring a hat-trick in a 6-0 Champions League win against Galatasarary in November of that year. Advertisement The attacker was a regular part of the first team since Ancelotti arrived back at the club in 2021, with starring roles at crucial moments in the two Champions Leagues won under the Italian. However, there have been persistent doubts about his consistency, with the player arguing that his natural position is on the left flank. That also happens to be the same side favoured by Ballon d'Or runner-up Vinicius Jr and Mbappe.

Monaco's Pogba 'dreams' of returning to France squad
Paul Pogba has his eye on a return to the France set-up after he was unveiled at Ligue 1 club Monaco on Thursday (Frederic DIDES) Paul Pogba said during his unveiling at new club Monaco on Thursday a return to the French national team "would of course still be a dream and a bonus for me". The 2018 World Cup winner boasts 91 caps for France, but has not represented Les Bleus since March 2022 due to injuries and an 18-month suspension for doping which ended four months ago. Advertisement "It's the wish of every French football player to represent the France national team, but there are stages," said the 32-year-old. "Today I'm at stage one: coming back and performing well. "There are spots to be won and you have to earn them because it's a very, very good group, a great team," he added. In Pogba's absence, France reached the final of the 2022 World Cup but were beaten on penalties by a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina. They also reached the semi-finals of the European Championship last year, before losing 2-1 to eventual winners Spain. Midfielder Pogba signed a two-year contract with Ligue 1 club Monaco on Saturday in a bid to relaunch his career. Advertisement The former Manchester United player has made only 12 appearances across the last three seasons due to injuries, suspension and an extortion case in which he was the victim. Pogba failed a drugs test in August 2023 after a match for Juventus and has been free to return to football since March, although his contract at the Italian giants had been terminated last year. In 2024, his brother Mathias was sentenced to three years in prison, with two years suspended, for his role in a plot to extort 13 million euros ($15.3 million) from Pogba in 2022. Having won four Italian league titles with Juventus and the 2017 Europa League with English side Man United, Pogba will now play club football in his home country for the first time in his professional career. cb-eba/gk/nf/pi
