Montevideo: the best choice for Unión’s pre-season? | OneFootball

The leadership and coaching staff of Leonardo Madelón have the challenging task of defining various issues, just as the team begins their vacation until January 2nd. Especially a pressing issue: the location for the preseason.

What seems clear is that the balance has shifted away from Mar del Plata. High costs have cooled that possibility and opened the door wide to look elsewhere: Montevideo, Uruguay.

The idea would be to spend the first week focused on physical training at the Casa Unión facility, and then the team would pack their bags to cross the river. Unión is looking for a facility with fields in excellent condition, a non-negotiable requirement for Leonardo Madelón, who is obsessive about detail and the quality of training as the foundation for executing his football proposal.

Additionally, there is a significant chance of playing in the Río de La Plata Series, a tournament that would allow them to gain competitive minutes against international opponents during the preparation period.

For now, the leadership is weighing alternatives and fine-tuning numbers, but everything indicates that the Tate could start 2026 far from Santa Fe at a much more convenient cost. If nothing stands in the way, Unión will undertake the most demanding part of their preparation in Montevideo, seeking the ideal starting point for a season that needs to begin on a strong footing.
