Borussia Dortmund Sets Jan. 2–8 Marbella Camp, Skips Friendlies, Heads Straight to Frankfurt

Niko Kovač ordered a short southern retreat to keep the group tight before the Bundesliga restart at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Overview

  • The club has officially ruled out any friendly matches during the Marbella stay due to the compressed turnaround.
  • The players and full staff will travel directly from Marbella to Frankfurt immediately after the camp to maximize preparation time.
  • Dortmund’s first match of 2026 is away to Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday, January 9, with kickoff at 20:30.
  • Details on whether training sessions in Marbella will be open to traveling supporters remain undecided and will be announced later.
  • Kovač reinstated the southern camp after last season’s decision under Nuri Sahin to skip a winter trip.
