Overview
- The team arrived in Helsingør on Wednesday for a multi-day camp based at the Marienlyst Strandhotel with four public training sessions scheduled through Saturday and a final session in the local stadium.
- Coach Merlin Polzin said the camp is the first gathering of the new season and that sessions will prioritize basics, conditioning and ball work rather than detailed tactics.
- HSV traveled with 27 players including several loan returns and six youth invitees given extended minutes to cover gaps caused by absences and to audition for first-team roles.
- Forward Otto Stange did not join the first on-field session because he is with Germany’s U19s for the European Championship semi-final, which teammates are expected to watch on TV in camp.
- Sponsor Engel Workwear is presenting and partly financing the trip, former player Stig Tøfting is scheduled to visit, and the public camp is intended to deepen the club’s ties with Danish supporters while the squad finishes offseason roster work.
