Algerian football club JS Kabylie has resumed training in preparation for the upcoming African Champions League match against Al-Merrikh on August 9. The team had two days of rest before resuming training at the 1st November stadium. This marks the final phase of preparation for the team before they compete in the prestigious tournament. The match will take place at the Unite Magrebine de Bejaia stadium, chosen by JS Kabylie president Mellal as the best option for the team to host the Sudanese team.
The team has decided to hold a mini training camp in Bejaia next week to allow the players to familiarize themselves with the stadium and its surroundings. According to sources close to the team management, the team will travel to Bejaia on Saturday or Sunday. This move is part of the team's strategy to ensure they are well-prepared for the match. The technical staff has established a plan to ensure the team is ready on all fronts before the match.
JS Kabylie coach Velud has expressed satisfaction with the team's progress so far and is confident that they will start the season strongly. The team's objective is to go as far as possible in the African competition. Velud will work to address any weaknesses and ensure the team is ready to face Al-Merrikh. The team's fans are eagerly anticipating the match and are expected to fill the stadium to support their team.
Before traveling to Bejaia, JS Kabylie will play a friendly match against CRB on Friday at 9 pm at the 1st November stadium. This match is part of the team's preparation and will be their seventh friendly match, following six matches during their training camp in Evian. The team is seeking to be competitive before returning to official competition.
JS Kabylie has also made a significant signing, with Kenyan international Masud Joma joining the team. Joma arrived in Tizi-Ouzou on Thursday and signed a two-year contract. The team had been seeking to strengthen their attack, and Joma's signing is seen as a major coup. The team's management is keen to finalize their recruitment plans as soon as possible to focus on the upcoming competition.
However, the signing of Joma may have implications for other players, including Koanda, who has been with the team during their training camp in Evian. Koanda's contract has not yet been finalized, and his position in the team may be uncertain. The team's management must make decisions on which players to keep and which to release, given the regulations allowing only two African players to be registered.
The team's management is working to ensure that the team is well-prepared for the match against Al-Merrikh, and the fans are eagerly anticipating the game. The team's objective is to make a strong start to the season and progress as far as possible in the African Champions League. The match against Al-Merrikh promises to be an exciting encounter, and JS Kabylie will be looking to make a strong impression.
