GAIS held a training camp in Albir, Spain, on 7 February 2026. The session was documented by Bildbyran photographer Mathilda Schuler, according to a report from Reuters Connect, with the picture showing midfielder August Wängberg during drills.
The Gothenburg club was preparing for its Allsvenskan season. Ahead of the current campaign, where the team sits 10th with 23 points, the camp was a key part of pre-season preparations. GAIS has 6 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses from 18 games and a goal difference of +3 (21 scored, 18 conceded). They trail league leaders Sirius by 19 points.
What did the training session involve?
The training camp in Albir took place during the cold European winter, providing the squad with conditions different from those in Sweden. Photographer Mathilda Schuler captured midfielder August Wängberg during one of the sessions. The image, distributed by Sipa USA, shows a player in full focus during practice.
Such camps are a standard part of pre-season for many Allsvenskan clubs. For GAIS, it was a chance to build team cohesion and improve match fitness ahead of the long season. You can view the full squad composition on our squad page.
What is GAIS's current standing?
Following the training camp, GAIS has played its way to a mid-table position in the 2026 Allsvenskan. The team's recent form is LLWDL, indicating some inconsistency. With 23 points, they are just above the relegation zone and have an important away fixture against Mjallby AIF on 20 September to look forward to.
Mjallby sits in 11th place, making the match a direct duel for positions in the lower half of the table. All season statistics are available on our stats page. An average of just over a goal per game suggests the attack may need refining to secure more points.
What does this mean for the rest of the season?
The training work in February laid the foundation for the season, but now it's about delivering on the pitch. With 12 matches remaining, GAIS has every opportunity to improve its position. The setup against Mjallby will be a key match to break the negative trend in recent form.
Fans can follow the upcoming match and the full schedule on our fixtures page. The team's defensive solidity, with only 18 goals conceded, is a strength they can build upon. To reach a safer position in the table, however, the attack needs to find more rhythm. The season's final stretch will determine if the training camp in sunny Spain bore fruit.
