Eintracht Braunschweig: No training camp - focus on the second half of the season!

Things will be exciting for Eintracht Braunschweig in the near future: the second half of the 2025/2026 season begins on January 16th with a landmark game against 1. FC Magdeburg. But the waves in the club are higher than a storm on the North Sea. Eintracht is in a relegation battle and has to turn things around quickly in order to give up the red lantern. A step in the right direction could be foregoing a winter training camp, a decision made by sports director Benjamin Kessel and which many other clubs in the league are already considering.

Instead, the entire preparation will take place in the hometown of Braunschweig. This should not only provide better orientation for players, but also free up resources that could be used for possible new reinforcements. Finally, it also becomes clear that Eintracht Braunschweig urgently needs players to save the season. Eintracht.com reports that ...

Preparation in Braunschweig

But what exactly does the preparation look like? According to the experts, an adapted training plan is needed to maintain and improve fitness during the winter break. A good mix of endurance, strength and mental strength is required here. The winter break should be used as an opportunity to address individual deficits.

Now we can only hope that the team will achieve the hoped-for turnaround and perhaps present the first positive surprise of the new year against 1. FC Magdeburg. The fans keep their fingers crossed!
