Galatasaray arrive in Austria to start pre-season camp | OneFootball

Galatasaray have arrived in Austria to begin the second phase of their pre-season, with head coach Okan Buruk focusing on tactical cohesion ahead of their Süper Lig defence and UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

According to Turkish-Football.com, the Turkish champions flew from Istanbul to Linz on a charter, then travelled by road to their Geinberg base, where local Turkish supporters welcomed the squad at the hotel.

Buruk has named a 31-man group for the camp, blending recent international returnees following the 2026 FIFA World Cup with academy prospects competing for places.

Across eight days in Austria, the Lions will hold double training sessions and play three friendlies designed to build match fitness and tactical sharpness.

They are scheduled to face local side LASK first, followed by regional opponents before departure.

The camp is due to conclude on 31 July, with the squad returning to Istanbul to finalise preparations for the Turkish Super Cup and their opening league commitments in August.
