Sports City Antalya Opens Winter 2027 Football Training Camp Enquiries
Five exclusive hotel partners, seven FIFA-standard pitches, and friendly matches against European clubs of matching strenght.
Sports City Antalya is taking enquiries for winter 2027 football training camps in Antalya, Türkiye. The company has organised camps for professional clubs, academies and national teams since 2009, and has named five exclusive hotel partners for the coming winter.
Teams book one contract that covers the hotel, the pitch, the transfers and the friendly matches. Sports City Antalya owns seven FIFA-standard grass pitches in the Side region and runs its own ground staff, so training slots are fixed when a team books rather than shared with a hotel's other guests.
Which hotels will exclusively host teams in winter 2027?
| Hotel | What the team gets |
|---|---|
| TUI Magic Life Jacaranda | Two football pitches inside the hotel grounds. Clubs walk from their rooms to the session. They also have two gyms available, with one of the gyms equipped with techno gym. |
| Linda Resort | Five-star hotel in Side and an exclusive partner since 2020. The pitches are five minutes away, and some teams walk rather than take the bus. Sports City Antalya's indoor hall stands in the grounds. |
| Side Moon Palace | A modern five-star hotel in Side-Sorgun, just five minutes by vehicle from two professional football pitches. |
| Royal Dragon Hotel | HJK Helsinki and Vardar Skopje held their camp here and trained on a pitch reserved for the clubs. |
| TUI Blue Side | Six pitches of 70 by 105 metres, 800 m from the hotel. Antalya airport is 59 km away. |
All five are all-inclusive hotels. Meal times move to fit session times, and laundry runs after training.
What does a winter camp include?
Every camp covers, as standard:
- Airport transfers in both directions
- All-inclusive accommodation for players and staff
- Daily training slots on reserved pitches
- Transport between the hotel and the pitch
- Meal times set around the training schedule
- A local coordinator for the whole camp
On request, Sports City Antalya also arranges friendly matches, extra pitch hours, match officials, match video, physiotherapy and medical support, and entry to a tournament at the end of the camp.
Why do clubs train in Antalya in winter?
Antalya sits on the Mediterranean coast and records roughly 300 sunny days a year. In January, when much of Europe trains on frozen or waterlogged ground, teams here work outdoors twice a day on natural grass.
The second reason is opposition. Hundreds of visiting clubs are within thirty minutes of each other in a normal winter week, so Sports City Antalya can match a squad against a side at the right level, from professional European league teams to age-matched academy sides. The company arranges the fixture, the pitch and the officials.
The third is distance. Pitches sit five to seven minutes from the hotels. Players finish a session, recover and eat without an hour on a coach in between.
Who has trained with Sports City Antalya?
Clubs and national teams that have held camps or played tournaments with the company include Slovan Liberec, Mlada Boleslav, LNZ Cherkasy, Fenerbahçe, Schalke 04, RB Leipzig U17, HJK Helsinki, CSKA Moscow, Hertha Berlin's women's team, FC Vardar Skopje, the Kyrgyzstan U23 national team, the Iraq national football team and Tajikistan national football team. Past camps, with squads, dates and results, are published in the our news section.
When should teams book?
Pitch time is the constraint, not hotel rooms. Camps in the December to February window are usually committed six to nine months ahead, so teams with fixed dates should enquire early.
Football is the largest part of the company's work but not all of it. Sports City Antalya also runs camps in rugby, basketball, volleyball, badminton, swimming, athletics, archery, gymnastics and Paralympic sports, and hosts its own tournaments, including the Antalya Friendship Cup.
