BVB, summer timetable: Dates, friendlies, start of training

Borussia Dortmund wants to be champions next season and prepare as best they can this summer. Dates, friendlies, start of training: Here is the information so far on BVB’s preparations.

The 2021/22 season is over – and has once again produced Borussia Dortmund as runners-up in the Bundesliga. After the tenth championship in a row by FC Bayern Munich, BVB is already looking towards the 2022/23 season with more hope and motivation, and has therefore already strengthened its squad with Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Süle, Salih Özcan and Karim Adeyemi. With the new old coach Edin Terzic, there is another breath of fresh air in the team.

Of course, one thing is clear: In order to gradually end this sensational title series of the rivals from the south, the foundation stone must be laid with a smooth preparation phase in the summer.

SPOX below provides information on how BVB’s pre-season preparations are currently taking place, with the start of training and the friendlies.

BVB, summer timetable: start of training

After the end of the season on May 14th, the Westphalia pros have a total of around six weeks to recover and recharge their batteries. The start of the pre-season is scheduled for June 27th. The start of training takes place in Brackel, i.e. on the BVB training ground. Incidentally, on July 31st, the season will open with the fans.

BVB, summer timetable: Dates and test matches

The black and yellow are completing the training camp in Bad Ragaz (Switzerland). Before the trip there, however, training will continue in Dortmund for a little over two weeks. The training camp is probably not planned until July 15th to 23rd.

Until then, two friendlies are planned on German soil, and there should be two more in Switzerland. Not much more is known about the training camp or the test matches themselves.

Because the World Cup will be held between November 21st and December 18th, the competitive season will start a little earlier this year. Borussia starts on May 29 against 1860 Munich in the DFB Cup, a week later the Bundesliga starts.

Incidentally, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig will make up the Supercup in 2022, since BVB missed out on winning the championship as well as the cup. The Saxons were able to win this.
