“We are combining this year’s tournament with our annual training camp, and arrived in Israel one week before the beginning of the tournament.

“As a club, we regularly play in international tournaments and friendly matches as we believe these are valuable for personal player development. We are looking forward to being in Israel this winter and to take on the challenges that await us.

Additionally, the cultural and historic aspects of Israel offers our players a further opportunity to broaden their horizons and develop further off of the pitch.”
Relationship with Maccabi Tel Aviv:

Expectations for the tournament:
“According to our own experience and that of DFB (German Football Association), we expect to enjoy a comfortable and well-organized trip and tournament.”
Other activities that the club will do while in Israel:

Patrice Haddad, the owner of Red Star Paris also commented on the opportunity to take part in the Maccabi Tel Aviv International Tournament:
“Our objective is to win the tournament as well as allowing the young players the chance to experience a competition of this magnitude which they normally don’t have the chance to do.”

Relationship between Maccabi and Red Star:
