Bahrain’s senior men’s national football team have begun their overseas training camp in Tbilisi after arriving in Georgia to continue preparations for upcoming international commitments.

The squad’s European base follows their departure from Manama on Monday evening, marking the start of a preparatory phase that includes two friendly matches against strong opposition as part of their build-up for major tournaments ahead.

Head coach Dragan Talajic is overseeing the camp, which comes as Bahrain continue their structured preparation for the 27th Gulf Cup, where they will enter as defending champions, as well as the AFC Asian Cup 2027.

Upon arrival, the team have already begun their initial training sessions, focusing on ball work and tactical organisation as the coaching staff look to fine-tune both physical and technical aspects of the squad.

The delegation includes a 30-man roster, with players continuing to link up with the group in phases. A number of overseas-based professionals are expected to join directly in Georgia, strengthening the squad ahead of the first friendly.

Bahrain are scheduled to face hosts Georgia, ranked 72nd in the world, on Friday at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi. The team will then travel to Antalya, Türkiye, for a second friendly against Syria on Tuesday at the Gloria Sports Arena.
