In early July, Serbian SuperLiga side OFK Beograd endured two consecutive preseason defeats on the Zlatibor training camp, losing 1‑0 to lower‑division OFK Vršac and 2‑0 to Montenegro’s Budućnost. The matches highlighted weaknesses identified by both clubs’ coaches. By late July, the preseason window broadened across the Balkans. Bosnia’s Velež Mostar fell 1‑3 to Jadran Ploče, while other Bosnian clubs recorded mixed results. Serbian teams such as FK Drina Zvornik, IMT and Mladost Lučani posted wins or draws, and Serbian side Sloga Leskovac achieved a 9‑1 victory. On 25 July, Sloga Leskovac routed Pusta Reka 9‑1, building a 4‑0 halftime lead and fielding 15 players as Coach Miodrag Đorđević praised the squad’s form ahead of the league campaign. In Croatia, Slaven Belupo, Lokomotiva and Osijek played friendlies, the latter losing 1‑3 to Turkish side Rizespor. The varied outcomes illustrate a regional pattern of clubs using friendly matches to gauge squads and integrate new signings ahead of the upcoming league campaigns.
