With a view to the coming season in the 2nd Bundesliga, 1. FC Magdeburg is currently training intensively in the picturesque Bad Wörishofen. The team, which finished last season in a solid fifth place, is using the training camp time to prepare optimally. On Monday, July 7, 2025, there were two training sessions on the program: the first took place at 11 a.m. on the training field, followed by a weight room-oriented session at 4 p.m. The players are well on their way to integrating the new coaching under Markus Fielder into their style of play after they started training at the end of June after a short holiday period, the club reports on its website.

In this context, there was also the opportunity for a short interview with new signing Nick Meier, who talked about his first impressions at FCM and the training camp. “I feel comfortable here and am excited about the challenges that lie ahead of us,” said Meier. On Monday evening, Tarek Chahed, the defender, was also featured as a guest on a YouTube Live at 5:45 p.m. Such interactive formats offer fans a special insight behind the scenes.

Media presence

The media appearances of the Magdeburg players are just as important. Alexander Nollenberger spoke to the Mindelheimer Zeitung, Laurin Ulrich had a conversation with the Volksstimme, and Philipp Hercher answered questions from BILD. These dates are part of the club's communication strategy to strengthen ties with fans and media.

The training times for Tuesday and Wednesday have also been set: training takes place on the pitch at 11 a.m. each time. While Tuesday's session will not be open to the public, fans can look forward to further training and upcoming friendlies throughout the week. The first of these will take place on July 10th at 2 p.m. against FC Zurich.

Summer timetable

The summer schedule of 1. FC Magdeburg is well filled. After the friendly against Zurich, there will be another game against Rot-Weiss Essen on July 18th and one against Chemnitzer FC on July 19th. Particular attention will also be paid to the duel against VfL Wolfsburg on July 26th. These test matches and training camps are intended to ensure that the team is ready for the first matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga against Eintracht Braunschweig on August 13th.

In summary, it can be said that 1. FC Magdeburg is well prepared for the challenges ahead with a structured summer schedule and intensive training measures. The players are motivated and optimistic that they can carry the good form from last season into the new season. Whether the measures are fruitful will become apparent in the coming weeks.
