Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Marbella, Spain, for a training camp between their Premier League fixture at Old Trafford and their home game against Coventry City on 19 October 2026. The decision by manager Roberto De Zerbi comes as the club finds itself at the bottom of the Premier League table, having recorded two draws and three losses in their opening five games.
Boosting Squad Cohesion

The training camp is intended to improve squad morale and provide an opportunity for the team's new-look squad to bond. Tottenham added ten new players during the summer transfer window, spending more than £250 million on new talent. The busy fixture schedule and an extended international break have meant that the new signings have had limited opportunity to gel, according to BBC London.
Roberto De Zerbi has previously used changes in environment to build squad morale. Last season, the club held a team bonding dinner at Mayfair restaurant Bacchanalia while battling relegation. A similar dinner at the same venue preceded their Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool last month, as reported by The Standard.

The trip to southern Spain offers a change from Tottenham's usual training base in Enfield, where rain is forecast. Temperatures in Marbella are predicted to reach approximately 25°C during the camp. Such trips are unusual so early in the season, with English clubs typically seeking warmer weather during the winter months.
