For FC Juárez, the camp is about more than simply finding a training ground. Jesús Meste, the club’s director of administration and operations, reportedly said the move was shaped by the chance to leave the team’s usual environment, work at altitude and use local facilities.
The Colorado weather is also expected to benefit the squad’s conditioning before the Apertura begins later this month. Preseason camps often provide a chance to build fitness and sharpen tactical habits, but this one is also giving Las Bravas an unusual connection with supporters far from their home base.
The report says the club is planning activities across Garfield County after training, including horseback riding, fishing, ATV outings and helicopter rides. Those events should give the players a broader experience of the area while creating additional opportunities for local families to engage with a professional team.
For the school district, the visit offers a close look at the standards and routines required in elite sport. Oldham’s comments underline the wider value of opening the doors: young people can see professional footballers training in a familiar community setting rather than only on television.
Las Bravas are now preparing for another Liga MX Femenil campaign, with the demands of the Apertura likely to test how effectively this camp translates into competitive form.
The next storyline will be whether FC Juárez can carry the fitness, focus and community momentum from Colorado into its opening fixtures.
