Magdeburg's stars sweat in the training camp: This is how the preparation goes!

In the last few days, 1. FC Magdeburg has set up its training camp in the beautiful town of Bad Wörishofen in the Allgäu. Here the team is preparing for the upcoming season in the 2nd Bundesliga. On Saturday, July 5, 2025, two training sessions took place on the pitch, which made the players sweat. In the morning there was an exciting eleven-on-eleven game, while in the afternoon the weight room was on the agenda again. The crowd-puller Tarek Chahed will answer questions from fans in a YouTube live stream on Monday, July 6, 2025 at 5:45 p.m., and newcomer Laurin Ulrich was also able to give insights into team life in short interviews.

The training camp runs until July 12th and the players are already highly motivated. The first of several crucial training sessions will take place on Monday, followed by a double friendly against FC Zurich. There the team will have the opportunity to try out the game and test new tactics. The pressure is high because the season in the 2nd Bundesliga is starting soon, on August 2nd, 2024 to be precise.

Training conditions and team building

The training conditions in Bad Wörishofen were praised by player Daniel Heber. The new arrivals in particular seem to be fitting in well, although Baris Atik admitted that he misses his family. Alexander Nollenberg, a veteran of the team, thinks positively: Despite the tough training sessions, there was a lot to laugh about. The past week included a wide range of activities, from team building activities on Tuesday 9 July to intensive training sessions. Even though Amara Condé had to sit out Tuesday due to stress management, the team remains strong as a unit.

A highlight was a test match against FC Bayern Munich's second team, which ended 1-1 on Friday, July 5th and prepared the players for the challenges ahead. The training days are not only designed to keep the players physically fit, but also to strengthen the team spirit, which is extremely important right now.

Future challenges

The next few days promise to be exciting. The last session on the pitch will take place on Thursday, July 11th, before the training camp ends with a double test against FC Zurich on Friday, July 12th. Rumors of player changes, such as Amara Condé's, are livening up conversations among fans, while Abu-Bekir El-Zein talks about his move to Magdeburg and his goal of becoming a regular player.

The anticipation for the new season is in the air, and 1. FC Magdeburg seems ready to give it their all. Every step in this training camp is a step towards a hopefully successful season.
