The Skënderbeu team has begun preparations for the new football season with a large player turnout in the first training session, creating an atmosphere that signals an intense and highly competitive start. Currently, the team is in a broad selection phase, with the number of gathered players reaching 33, a figure that suggests an overcrowded situation but is part of the strategy to build the strongest possible squad for the upcoming season.
This group includes players who were starters last season and who have earned the trust of the coaching staff. Additionally, several young players from the U-19 team have been included and are now getting a chance to showcase their potential at a higher level. Players returning from loan spells are also present, as well as some who finished the season with the youth team but impressed the management enough to earn a temporary place in the first-team group.
At this initial training stage, the coaching staff is carefully observing the individual performances and physical condition of each player. The coach has a large group at his disposal, which will undoubtedly undergo a careful selection process to ultimately shape a balanced and competitive squad.
The club is also awaiting the return of several players who were out on loan, and it does not rule out the possibility of adding new names in the coming days as part of the summer transfer window.
This situation creates a significant number of players available, which brings a considerable challenge for the coaching staff. Nevertheless, both the management and the coach are clear in their vision: selection will be based on merit and the specific needs of the team.
In the coming days, further developments are expected regarding new signings, the finalization of the technical staff, and the organization of the pre-season training camp. For now, the focus remains on the work on the pitch and on the objective evaluation of all players competing for a place in the starting lineup.
