This intensive training session is slated to take place at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Centre in Bengaluru, running from April 20 to May 9, according to an official release.

The primary objectives of the camp will include honing tactical cohesion, improving conditioning, and conducting match-simulation sessions.
