What does the camp mean for season goals?
A well-executed training camp can be the foundation for a strong second half of the season. GAIS's objective must be to climb the table from their current position. A key factor will be improving defensively while maintaining their offensive capability. The team's stats from play so far provide a clear direction for the training work.
The next test of the camp's effectiveness comes on September 20, when GAIS travels away to face Mjallby AIF. Mjallby sits just behind in 11th place, making the match a direct duel in the lower part of the table. All information on upcoming matches is on our fixtures page.
