Pre-season camps typically take place 4-6 weeks before the season starts. For European leagues starting in August, this means June-July camps. Teams often choose destinations with moderate temperatures: Central Europe for summer camps, or Turkey/Spain if training earlier (May). The ideal duration is 7-10 days.
A good pre-season camp provides: multiple training sessions per day (fitness, tactics, set pieces), natural grass pitches for match-realistic preparation, gym access for strength and conditioning, recovery facilities (pool, ice baths, physio), video analysis capabilities, opportunity for friendly matches, and quality rest through good accommodation and nutrition.
Budget €50-80/person/night for club-level camps, €80-150 for professional-level, and €150+ for elite facilities. A 7-day camp for a squad of 25 (including staff) typically costs €10,000-30,000 in total, depending on destination and accommodation level. All-inclusive packages in Turkey offer the best value.
