A Friendly Breakfast Underlined Pre-Season Solidarity

The Season's Aim: Raising Competition While Strengthening Fair Play

Playing friendlies as part of their Istanbul camp, Armada Praxis Yalıkavakspor are continuing to try out rotations in matches in which the coaching staff give every player time on court. The club aims both to maintain its European ambition in the new season and to speed up the integration of youth-setup players into the first team.
