Aris FC is finalizing its pre-season training plans, with Serbia's Zlatibor emerging as the most likely destination for the team's main camp. The club had previously considered Pravets, Bulgaria, but scheduling issues in July have led them back to the Serbian option.

The training camp in Zlatibor, a region known for its scenic beauty and association with filmmaker Emir Kusturica, is expected to last approximately two weeks. The team aims to conduct this phase from mid-to-late July, before returning to Thessaloniki. This period is crucial for building the team's physical condition under coach Michalis Grigoriou.

The initial phase of Aris's preparation will take place in Thessaloniki and Ptolemaida, focusing on fitness. With no European competitions this season, the team plans to play one to two friendly matches during the pre-season, including games upon their return to Thessaloniki in August.
