Fredrikstad FK is preparing for the 2026 season training with a short but intensive plan. The players report back to the Stadium on Monday, January 5, for testing before heading to Gran Canaria for a training camp from January 8 to 22. This camp will focus on training without matches, providing the team with the opportunity to prepare in top conditions. Football director Joacim Heier emphasizes the importance of a shorter preseason to improve the match rhythm in Eliteserien. After returning from Gran Canaria, Fredrikstad FK will play three friendly matches before the league opener. The first match is against Lillestrøm on January 31, followed by games against Jerv and Elfsborg. Additionally, the team will have another training camp in Marbella from February 7 to 18, where they will face Toronto and KFUM. On March 8, the round of 16 in the NM against Sarpsborg 08 is on the agenda, and the team is determined to perform well.
