FC Energie Cottbus: Back to training camp after more than 10 years!

After more than ten years of abstinence, FC Energie Cottbus is entering new territory again: the club's training camp will take place in Hagenberg in the Mühlkreis in Austria from July 17th to 23rd, 2025. The last attempts at a training camp took place in the winter of 2015 in Belek, Türkiye. This comeback is accompanied by numerous fans who don't want to miss out on exciting test matches.

The club landed a real highlight for the first test match: on Friday, July 18th, the team will face SV Oberbank Ried, an Austrian first division team, at 6 p.m. The game will be played in the Innviertel Arena. An attractive price offer of 10 euros for entry ensures that fans can buy more than just once. And for the youngest among us, those up to 15 years old, there is even free access. The box office opens at 4:30 p.m. and admission begins at 5:00 p.m. There are sufficient parking spaces available for those arriving in front of the East Stand via Brucknerstrasse.

Test games and anticipation

As befits a solid preparation period, the second test match is scheduled for the next day, July 19th. FC Energie will play against FC HOGO Hertha Wels, a second division team, in the Huber Arena, also at 6:00 p.m. Here too is the entrance fee? It will be paid in cash, with further options for card payment in the sports bar in the main stand.

Cottbus’ head coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz spared no effort to create optimal conditions for preparation. He particularly emphasizes the approach and the great importance of the test match against Oberbank Ried as a real test. With two test matches, the training camp will provide a solid foundation not only for the upcoming challenges in the 3rd league, the first round of which begins on the weekend of August 1st to 3rd, but also for the further development of the team.

The perfect preparation

The region around Linz is not only valued as an ideal training location, but FC Energie also seems to have the right nose for this measure. The necessary reality is often valued highly in football training, and the conditions in Austria bring a welcome change to everyday training life. A reason for players and fans to look forward to when they retreat to the mountains and meadows of the Mühlkreis region from July 17th to 23rd and prepare for the challenges ahead.

The fans can look forward to exciting days, and it remains to be seen whether the team's fighting system can withstand the exciting altitudes of Austria. The spirit of FC Energie is not only evident on the pitch, but also in the team spirit as they diligently prepare for the new season. Any fan who wants to get a piece of the pie should be sure to be there on time. For more information about training camps and more, stay tuned to the website Training camp helpful.
