In the picturesque Bad Wörishofen in the Allgäu, 1. FC Magdeburg is currently preparing intensively for the new season in the 2nd Bundesliga. The training camp will take place from July 3rd to 12th and aims to optimally prepare the players for the challenges ahead. The club management chose this location, which not only scores with a beautiful backdrop, but also offers excellent training conditions.
But the weather was unforgiving on Tuesday, July 8, 2025. In rainy conditions, the team completed a training session that lasted almost two hours, but was not open to the public. During this time, Baris Atik spoke in a short interview about the working conditions with the new coaching team and the upcoming test match against FC Zurich. “I miss my family, but the conditions here are great,” said Atik, who found the time in the training camp very positive, as the reporting from magdeburg-fussball.de impressively confirms.
Team building and media events
An exciting team building event was on the program on Tuesday afternoon: the players went karting to Landsberg to strengthen team spirit. Such activities are not only important for the team atmosphere, but also bring everyone involved closer together. Media events also took place after lunch; Among other things, Marcus Mathisen exchanged ideas with Volksstimme, while Baris Atik conducted an interview with BILD. Head coach Markus Fiedler was live on Sport im Osten's MDR live talk to provide information about the team's progress.
On Wednesday, the team expects its last training session in the training camp at 11 a.m., followed by the eagerly awaited friendly against FC Zurich. Kick-off is on Thursday at 2 p.m. According to Daniel Heber, this will be a good opportunity to test previous work under competition conditions.
A look at the season
In addition, the team is also looking firmly into the future of the 2nd Bundesliga. The anticipation for the upcoming games is palpable, for example the match against SV Elversberg. Coach Horst Steffen has already prepared his team for Magdeburg to act offensively and quickly. “The Magdeburgers play with speed through the wings and through the middle, which makes them difficult to defend,” said Steffen, according to the reporting from saarbruecker-zeitung.de.
The players of 1. FC Magdeburg are determined to start the season with a strong performance. Whether they succeed in this will become apparent in the coming weeks, but the course has been set. So one can only hope that the team returns from training camp without any further injuries and is ready to give their all in league games.
