The Daejeon Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Bluefangs said on the 2nd that they have begun their final preparations for the new season through a training camp in Japan.
Arriving in Shizuoka, Japan, on the 2nd, Samsung Fire will hold joint training sessions and matches with the Toray Arrows before returning home on the 7th.
Samsung Fire, which spent the offseason shifting toward the fast, fluid style of play sought by head coach Tommi Tiilikainen, plans to use the camp to make a final assessment of its offseason work before the 2026-2027 season.
"The players trained extremely hard during the offseason," a club official said. "This should be a good opportunity to test the results of that work against a high-caliber Japanese professional team and to learn from them."
