Schalke preseason camp ends, fan sessions announced
Entities: FC Schalke 04 · Stubaital · Loris Karius · Robin Gosens · Moussa Ndiaye
Overview
The Stubaital training camp concluded on 26 July 2026 with Schalke 04 defeating Japan’s Fagiano Okayama 3‑1 in Schwaz. After rain forced the cancellation of the planned “Blau‑Weiße Nacht” autograph hour, the club apologized and arranged a makeup session for the next morning.
Robin Gosens debuted for Schalke, playing the first half of the friendly and later describing the experience as “like coming home” while confirming his position on the left wing‑back.
Schalke announced three open training sessions at its Gelsenkirchen base on 29, 30 and 31 July, with a test match against Hessen Kassel slated for 1 August.
In Kicker’s post‑promotion player rankings, goalkeeper Loris Karius was rated “outstanding” and placed first among keepers, defender Moussa Ndiaye earned the top “outstanding” rating in defense, and Hasan Kurucay, Mertcan Ayhan and Timo Becker received “outstanding” or “noticeable” marks. Ayhan reiterated his commitment to the club despite transfer speculation as Schalke prepares for its Bundesliga return.
