Beitar Jerusalem departed this morning (Wednesday) for its preseason training camp in Bulgaria, where the team will spend the next ten days preparing for the 2026\/27 season. After flying from Israel to Sofia, the squad continued to the town of Pravets, which will serve as the team’s training base throughout the camp.<\/p>\n

During the ten-day camp, the team will hold intensive training sessions as part of the preparations that already began in Israel, along with two friendly matches. The first will take place on July 3 against Botev Vratsa, while the second is scheduled for July 7 against Arda, a team Beitar also faced during last season’s training camp.
