Trump ruins Premier League club camp

US President Donald Trump seriously damaged the stadiums of the training camp for the English club “Brighton”, making them unusable and forcing the club to cancel the training camp for the new season.

Brighton & Hove Albion were forced to cancel their training camp in France after their stadium was used as a landing strip for helicopters carrying a number of world leaders, including Donald Trump, to the Group of Seven summit.

According to the newspaper, in 2018The Athletic“Football stadiums in Evian-les-Bains, France, were used as helipads during the last G7 summit.

Brighton were set to hold their training camp at the Royal Resort near the Swiss border between July 23 and August 1.

Although the summit was held in mid-June with the participation of such prominent figures as Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, the pitch was not restored in time. “Brighton” FC sent a team of its employees to inspect the facilities and expressed its displeasure with the state of the stadiums.

The cancellation of the camp led to the cancellation of a scheduled friendly against French second division club Annecy. As a result, Brighton decided to continue training at his training center in the city of Lancing in the south of England, where he organized a closed friendly match.

The team is scheduled to travel to Austria on Sunday to set up an alternative camp. The club has confirmed that this change of plans will not affect its preparations for the new season.

Brighton begin their friendly against Strasbourg in France on August 1, before facing Italian clubs Roma and Bologna on August 8 and 15 as part of their intensive pre-season preparations.
