The clubs’ summer camps come as a first, preparatory stage to embark on the new season, as they used to travel to regions with moderate weather to prepare their teams and prepare them within various training programs in order to stand at the optimum readiness they need.

Perhaps the factors of heat and humidity during this period constitute a major obstacle to completing its preparation locally, as it believes that the external preparation is an irreplaceable option, as it gives it enough space to place its choices of players before the microscope of testing and comparison.

But the observer of the foreign camps’ march over the past years finds a discrepancy in their gains, in sympathy with the modest technical condition that appears in the first quarter of each season, as the teams are supposed to be in good physical condition and technically acceptable after the camp period and the subsequent second stage as well. The internal preparation, which is interspersed with intensive exercises and trial meetings, in order to raise physical fitness and prepare the players for the atmosphere of the official matches.

However, the shock of the beginnings that comes with the start hinders and spoils the clubs’ plans, as it is a duplicate of a stereotype that took an important part of the season box. This prompts her to move quickly to find solutions and alternatives to push things back to their normal course.

But this raises a question about the nature and usefulness of the preparatory stage, whose features are supposed to be reflected and reaped its fruits upon official appearance and actual friction. Fatigue and injuries constitute an early headache for the clubs and put them in confusion and embarrassment in front of their fans, who quickly blame their administration and accuse them of negligence and failure in the preparation stage.

However, there are other things that have a disruptive and annoying hand as well, such as the weather factor, which constitutes a compelling challenge and works to consume the players' energies due to the harsh humidity and the inevitable high heat.

And between the returns of the camps and the weather conditions, the question remains lost in the circle of reason and responsibility, but what if the League and the Football Association thought of solving part of the problem by transferring the first rounds of the season’s competitions to the city of Al Ain, which is characterized by its dry and moderate weather in the evening, especially since it contains three stadiums with specifications International, as a new experience that may protect players from the consequences of heat and humidity, as it will reveal the truth and usefulness of those camps!
