Beitar Jerusalem Faces Arda Sofia in Second Preseason Friendly in Bulgaria
Beitar Jerusalem is currently in its sixth day of preseason training camp in Pravets, Bulgaria. On July 7, 2026, the team played a friendly match against local Bulgarian club Arda Sofia, marking their second warm-up game following a 2-2 draw against Vratsa Botv. The match began with an early attempt by Beitar's Ravid Abergil, who took a long-range shot that went over the goal.
The starting lineup for Beitar Jerusalem included Miguel Silva, Nana Antwi, Brian Carvalli, Liel Dray, Yarden Cohen, Ziv Ben Shimol, Nadav Markovich, Ailson Tabarsh, Timothy Muzi, Junbusco Kalo, and Ravid Abergil. The coaching staff, led by Almog Cohen, plans to hold another friendly on Thursday at 18:00 against Kosovo's Drenica, a team that finished fourth last season and will also compete in the Conference League qualifiers.
This series of friendlies is part of Beitar Jerusalem's preparation for the upcoming season, aiming to build team cohesion and assess player performance ahead of competitive matches.
