Standardize the note:
Real Betis will travel to Turkish lands to have a small concentration in Afyon before the tournament that will measure them against Olympique de Marseille, Olympiakos, and a third team that will possibly be Fenerbahçe in the same location. After that, the team will continue its plan to move directly to Frankfurt, from where they will start their pre-season stage in Germany.
In this way, the Betis team accepts the proposal of the tournament to come a few days earlier and will stay at Korel Thermal Resort Clinic & Spa in the small Turkish town. However, the dates of the event have changed and the tournament will be played from July 25 to July 30.
Another novelty is the absence of Galatasaray, who was initially on the Afyon Cup poster. They rejected their participation due to prior plans, and the organization invited Fenerbahçe, which is still evaluating the proposal. In this way, Betis seeks to take a step forward in their physical preparation before the tournament and their stage in German lands.
Altitude training.
The Afyon Cup will be a good scenario to see the evolution of the green-and-white project for their season in La Liga after their promotion. It will be an altitude training, as the facilities are located more than a thousand meters above sea level, and the Turkish government supported the event to present this new scenario internationally.
Meanwhile, in Germany, Betis will have a stage in the same area where they were in 2012, when they were concentrated in the small town of Bad Schönborn, in the Baden-Württenberg region. There they will play two friendly matches against Bundesliga opponents.
