After a couple of weeks of vacation, the team is back in training on Monday, June 15, with a focus on the Allsvenskan restart on July 5 at Borås Arena against IF Elfsborg. The work on replacing the artificial turf at Årsta IP has started and is expected to be completed on July 5. Therefore, Henrik Rydström's first training session as Hammarby's new head coach will take place on Kanalplan. The team trains from 12:30 to 14:00, and the rest of the week's open training sessions will be communicated as usual at the beginning of next week. Mini-camp and training match on the west coast After the first training week on Södermalm, the team will go on a compact camp on the west coast to meet BK Häcken in a training match on Havsvallen in Smögen on Wednesday, June 24. Henrik Rydström has had a planned trip with his family for a long time, which means he will not be able to lead the team in the training match. – The premise was that I could start my new job on June 25 based on how we had planned life with the family, which would have to sacrifice a lot anyway. Hammarby has been great and accommodating in this. Since I've been able to start a bit earlier anyway. From June 25, it will be 100% focus on Hammarby, but for that to be possible, the family needs this time, says Henrik Rydström. Sportchef Mikael Hjelmberg: – Initially, Henrik would not be available to start with us until June 25. But both we and he had a strong desire for him to be part of the start-up. We have known this since we started negotiating with Henrik and respect that he needs to keep what he has promised to his family. We know how big sacrifices near and dear ones have to make when working in this industry. We have a good plan for how the business will continue and are confident in it, says Hammarby's sportchef Mikael Hjelmberg. Draw for the European tournament On June 17, the teams will be drawn in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, and we will therefore know which Hammarby will start their European adventure against. The double match will be played on July 23 and 30. The third qualifying round will be played on August 6 and 13, and the final play-off round on August 20 and 27.
