Italian football club Palermo FC will hold its summer training camp from 10 to 30 July 2026 at the Mulin da Coi Sports Centre in Santa Cristina Val Gardena. Under the guidance of former world-class striker Filippo “Pippo” Inzaghi, the team will prepare for the 2026/27 season.
The ideal altitude of Santa Cristina Val Gardena (1,300–1,400 metres above sea level) provides perfect conditions for pre-season training, while the breathtaking Dolomite landscape offers a unique setting for the training camp of this renowned club. The football pitch at the Mulin da Coi Sports Centre is therefore an ideal training venue for the Serie B side.
In the 2025/26 season, Palermo FC narrowly missed promotion to Serie A after the promotion play-offs. The historic Sicilian club has enjoyed many seasons in Italy's top flight and has been home to renowned players such as Paulo Dybala, Edinson Cavani, Javier Pastore, Fabrizio Miccoli and Luca Toni.
