The report says the first two days will focus mainly on medical checks and physical assessments, although Anselmi is expected to introduce ball work quickly. Most of the early programme should take place at the municipal Díez Iborra stadium, with occasional sessions away from the pitch to vary the routine.
That approach gives the coaching staff more than a month to build fitness, establish tactical ideas and assess the squad before the expected opening weekend of 15 August. No friendly matches have been officially announced, making the traditional Festa d’Elx fixture the clearest planned marker in the calendar.
Elche reportedly have 23 contracted players for the new campaign, but the opening phase may not involve the full group.
Their absence would reduce Anselmi’s options during the most important early weeks of preparation. The report also says Elche’s first competitive fixture could be delayed if their opponent has players returning late from the World Cup.
The return to La Finca offers Elche a controlled environment with training pitches, performance technology, a high-performance gym and recovery facilities. The club has used the resort in previous seasons and reportedly values its privacy, while Argentina also used the complex during preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
The next key dates are 1 July, when the squad reconvenes, and 3 August, when the camp begins. How quickly the international absentees return-and whether the Festa d’Elx is confirmed-will shape Elche’s final route into the new season.
