Side, Turkey — Football Training Camp & Pre-Season Destination
Side is a coastal resort town in the Antalya region of southern Turkey — one of the most established football training camp destinations in Europe, thanks to its reliable warm climate, excellent sports infrastructure, and strong value for money. The main training camp season runs from October through May, with spring and autumn offering ideal conditions for intensive football preparation and pre-season work. Summer camps are possible with adjusted session timing. Antalya Airport (AYT) is the nearest international hub, served by direct charter and scheduled connections from across Europe — approximately 60–75 km from Side.
