Parma pre‑season preparations 2026

Overview

In late July 2026 Parma Calcio 1913 began its summer training camp in Pinzolo, Italy, playing a 1‑1 draw against Arezzo. The squad, still early in the season, expressed a desire to adopt a more offensive style while managing player fitness. New signing Ousmane Diallo suffered an injury in training, and defender Elphege was also ruled out.

The following day the club announced a second friendly, this time against Greek side Iraklis 1908, scheduled for 2 August. The match was presented as a key test after the earlier draw with Arezzo and a goalless draw with Sassuolo in a triangular series. Parma’s coach Carlos Cuesta was expected to line the team up in a 4‑3‑4 formation, while Iraklis would likely use a 3‑5‑2. Forward Matija Frigan, emotional after Diallo’s injury, pledged to focus on scoring. The fixture was set to be broadcast live, giving fans a preview of the team’s preparation ahead of the upcoming season.
