The players have three weeks of vacation before the first winter preparation training session takes place in the Main city on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. The day after (January 4th), the ten-day winter training camp begins, which the reigning Europa League winner will complete in the United Arab Emirates.

Coach Oliver Glasner’s team will hold their training sessions on the courts of the Nad al Sheba Sports Complex in Dubai. “Due to the enormous strain in the first half of the season and the upcoming challenges in spring, it is all the more important to focus completely on the sporting preparation under stable conditions. In terms of weather safety, space quality and infrastructure, we find optimal conditions there,” said the Austrian.

Two friendlies are also planned as part of the training camp in Dubai. Against whom is not yet clear. On January 14, 2023, they will return to Germany for a tough second half of the season with games in three competitions – Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League.
