Behind the scenes at Club YLA, preparations for the 2025–26 campaign are well underway. We begin with physical testing during the week of 14 to 18 July. The first training session is scheduled for Monday 21 July, as the team gears up for the new season.
As is tradition, Club YLA will open the summer period with a friendly away to Bredene. Kick-off is set for Saturday 2 August at 14:30. One week later, on Saturday 9 August at 14:30, we travel to take on Zulte Waregem.
From Tuesday 12 to Friday 15 August, the squad heads to Delden (Netherlands) for a pre-season training camp.
To round off the camp, the team will take part in a football tournament in Utrecht on 15 August. The competition will feature four sides, with each team playing three 30-minute matches.
We conclude our pre-season preparations with two friendlies against Dutch opposition. On Saturday 23 August at 15:00, Club YLA face Ajax at the Sportcomplex De Toekomst. The final pre-season fixture comes on Saturday 30 August, as we take on Feyenoord at the training grounds near the Jan Breydel Stadium.
After an intense pre-season schedule, the Club YLA women will be fully ready for the start of the new campaign on the weekend of 5 September!
