Brief but clear
As has been the case in recent years, our team isn't spending too much time on preparation, dedicating about a month to it...
The training facility in Krylatskoye will open for individual sessions on August 13th. However, the general training camp won't begin for another ten days. The players will undergo a medical examination at the CAM Clinic and will be available to the press office and journalists almost immediately – a media day is scheduled for August 25th.
There will only be four friendly games this time, not tied to any tournaments. The team will open the preseason against BETCITY Parma at the main arena of the Basket Hall Moscow (behind closed doors, as usual), after which they will fly to Antalya for a series of games against Turkish clubs (the availability of television broadcasts will be announced later).
Upon their return, the Red-Blues will work in Krylatskoye once again and then move to VTB Arena, where the VTB United League SuperCup will be held.
The Red-Blues will play their first official game of the regular VTB League season on September 27.
