Doha, Qatar - Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) is gearing up to host comprehensive football training camps for a number of world-class teams this January. Time and again, these teams return to AZF during the northern hemisphere’s winter to benefit from Qatar’s perfect outdoor training weather at this time of the year and prepare for a range of international and continental tournaments in ideal settings.
During this year’s training camp season, AZF has announced that it will host 10 international football teams, all of whom are eager to benefit from its world-class training, accommodation and entertainment facilities.
Bayern Munich are scheduled to visit from January 4 to January 10, Holland’s Eindhoven from January 4 to 12, Belgium’s Club Brugge from January 5 to 12 and Kas Eupen from January 8 to 13 , Persepolis, the Iranian football team, from January 9 to 19 , and Paris Saint-Germain from January 13 to 17.
In preparation for the Russian league, Aspire Zone will also host a mini championship between a number of Russian clubs from January 20 to January 31. Spartak Moscow will be in Doha from January 18 to 30, FC Rostov and FC Lokomotiv Moscow from January 20 to 30, and FC Zenit Saint Petersburg from January 15 to 29.
Commenting on camps this year, Ibrahim Hilal, Head of Federation and Teams Affairs at AZF, said: “AZF’s unique trio of Aspire Academy, Aspetar and Aspire Logistics offer world-class outdoor and indoor facilities combined with sports science and sports medicine expertise. This convenient structure ensures everything is readily available for visiting athletes, who return to Aspire Zone Foundation’s training camps year after year.”
AZF is globally recognised for its ideal training environment for elite athletes, giving them access to training fields of the highest quality, multi-purpose halls for a variety of sports, and swimming pools, gyms, and indoor and outdoor tracks equipped with the latest technologies.
In addition, teams are also encouraged to return because of the success in domestic and international tournaments that follows their Aspire Zone training camps.
Of particular importance to football clubs are Aspire Zone’s training pitches. Elite international teams look for excellence in the smallest things and Aspire Zone Foundation’s commitment to maintaining the highest international standards makes its offer truly world-class.
Teams return to AZF’s because the quality and convenience of the venues are at least equal — and often better than — even the biggest teams’ home training facilities. From pitch quality to training equipment, hospitality services to medical centres, AZF’s facilities rival those of the greatest sports teams around the world.
