Kayserispor will stage two pre‑season friendlies at the Erciyes High‑Altitude Camp, with opponents Gençlerbirliği and Kasımpaşa to be announced later this week. The club has intensified training to hit the ground running for the new season.

When and where are the friendlies?

Exact dates and kick‑off times are still pending, but club spokesperson Emir Akpınar confirmed they will be disclosed within the week. The high‑altitude venue is meant to boost stamina, while Gençlerbirliği and Kasımpaşa are also preparing for a return to the Süper Lig.

How are the training sessions assessed?

Akpınar said, "Training is productive; our players are showing good technical and tactical cohesion." Head coach Mert Korkmaz added that younger talents are getting valuable minutes. The aim is to build form while keeping injury risk low before the league starts.

What is the team's current league standing?

Kayserispor sits 17th in the Süper Lig with 30 points, having recorded 6 wins, 12 draws and 16 losses over 34 games. In the last five matches the side posted a WWLLD run, most recently a 2‑1 victory over Konyaspor on 2026‑05‑17, and is on a two‑game winning streak. These figures underline the club’s desire to stop the points drain with the upcoming friendlies.

What can fans expect in the coming weeks?

The two matches will let the coaching staff test tactical variations and accelerate the integration of new signings. Defensive youngsters are expected to feature, aiming to reduce the 62 goals conceded so far. Supporters hope to experience the camp atmosphere live.

Transfer and squad updates

Last month Mert Çelik completed a €1.2 million move, offering creativity in midfield. Additionally, young goalkeeper Ali Yıldız extended his contract and will assume greater responsibilities in training. These moves show the staff’s effort to balance the squad.

Kayserispor aims to finish the preparation phase strong and improve its league position. The two friendlies represent a vital step both tactically and morale‑wise ahead of the new campaign.
