According to the statement, players, technical crew members, and backroom staff will proceed on a three-week holiday beginning Sunday, May 31, 2026, and ending on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
The club hierarchy urged all personnel to make the most of the break by spending time with their families while ensuring they maintain their fitness levels ahead of preparations for the new campaign.
