ADNOC Pro League clubs are intensifying their preparations for the 2025–2026 season by engaging in a series of friendly matches as part of their overseas training camps. These matches are aimed at regaining match sharpness and building the necessary technical cohesion before the official kick-off.
Among the 14 clubs competing in the upcoming ADNOC Pro League season, three teams have already confirmed their friendly match schedules in preparation for the new campaign, which includes competition for the ADNOC Pro League title, the Emaar Super Cup, and the ADIB Cup.
Al Nasr began its pre-season friendlies in Germany, where they defeated SpVgg Landshut 3-2. The goals were scored by Gláuber Lima, Manolo Gabbiadini, and Salem Al-Somhi.
Al Wahda launched their own friendly campaign with a 4-0 victory over German side Gebenbach in the city of Rieden. Goals came from Bernardo Folha, Omar Khribin, Gerónimo Rivera, and Abdulla Hamad.
Meanwhile, Al Ain is scheduled to start its training camp in Morocco from July 20 to 29, where they will face Moroccan club Union Touarga.
Afterward, they will move to Spain for the second phase of preparations. There, Al Ain will play three friendlies against Elche (Spain), Al Ahli (Saudi Arabia), and Granada in the Granada City Trophy, with matches scheduled for August 2, 3, and 9.
The rest of the ADNOC Pro League clubs are expected to announce their friendly schedules soon, following in the footsteps of Al Nasr, Al Wahda, and Al Ain.
It’s worth noting that UAE clubs are conducting their pre-season training camps in six European countries, including Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Serbia, Slovenia, and Austria, in addition to Morocco, which is once again a pre-season destination for Al Ain for the second year in a row.
