A 26-player Chelsea squad has arrived in the Netherlands for a six-day pre-season training camp, which will enable Sonia Bompastor and her players to intensify preparations ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The groundwork for the season ahead has been laid at Cobham, but things will now step up a gear as the Blues spend the rest of the week at camp in Holland, which concludes with a friendly against Ajax on Sunday. Kick-off is scheduled for 2pm local time at the Sportcomplex de Toekomst, and tickets can be bought here.
New signings Mara Alber, Ellie Carpenter and Livia Peng are included in the travelling party, and they could feature for the first time in Chelsea colours as the countdown to the new campaign continues.
The season begins for the Blues when Manchester City visit Stamford Bridge on Friday 5 September. Ticket information for that exciting season opener is available here, and you can secure your place at all four of our WSL fixtures taking place at Stamford Bridge with The Bridge Pass.
See below for the full list of players who are travelling to our pre-season training camp…
