Training session recap: This is where it all began
VfB Stuttgart's Training Camp at Lake Tegernsee
VfB Stuttgart, the German football club, held their pre-season training camp for the 2025/26 season in the picturesque location of Lake Tegernsee in Upper Bavaria. The camp, situated in Rottach-Egern, is a regular venue for the team's intensive pre-season preparations.
During the camp, Stuttgart played friendly matches against Ligue 1 clubs Toulouse and Bologna, as part of their build-up to the new season. However, the camp was marred by an injury to midfielder Angelo Stiller. On July 30, 2025, Stiller suffered a ligament tear in his ankle during a training session at the camp in Rottach-Egern. This injury was a recurrence of a similar one he sustained near the end of the last season. Despite the setback, Stiller remained with the squad at the camp but was sidelined for upcoming friendlies at the camp. He is expected to recover in time for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup match against Bayern München on August 16, 2025.
Despite the injury, the camp culminated positively for VfB Stuttgart. They achieved a 6-0 victory in the friendly against Toulouse on August 2, 2025. This victory was a boost for the team as they prepare for their season opener in the Bundesliga against Union Berlin on August 23, 2025, and the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Bayern München shortly before that.
