Beitar Jerusalem Resumes Full Training as Weissman Joins Squad in Bulgaria Camp
Beitar Jerusalem is currently in its sixth day of a training camp in Pravets, Bulgaria, preparing intensively for the upcoming season. After a full rest day on Saturday, the team resumed a rigorous schedule including morning runs, two daily training sessions, and planned friendly matches. Tomorrow (Tuesday at 10:00) they will face Arda Sofia, a team they also played last season. Additionally, Beitar will hold another friendly on Thursday at 18:00 against Kosovo's Drenica, who finished fourth last season and will compete in the Conference League qualifiers.
Injured players Luka Gadrani, Adi Yona, and Tomer Yosefi continue to train separately for recovery, while Omer Atzili has returned to full training. New signing Sean Weissman arrived fit and is training almost fully with the squad. The training focuses on endurance and tactical drills as head coach Almog Cohen conducts group and unit meetings to instill his playing philosophy ahead of the season opener.
Coach Cohen addressed the players, acknowledging the challenges ahead: "When it's easy, everyone wins and thinks they are the best, but when we dive into the deep end, we see how hard it is. I see how tough it is for you, but we will be together. If you want us to reach the highest level, now is the time to dream big and run like winners together."
Fan enthusiasm remains high with over 13,000 season tickets already sold, and sales for new fans will begin tomorrow. The team is scheduled to return to Israel on Friday afternoon.
