Bournemouth completed its last training session at the Real Sociedad stadium on Wednesday. On the grass of Anoeta - in the early evening - the emphasis was on rondos and tight positional play, in line with a final fine-tuning towards the match in San Sebastián. The entire group of eighteen field players worked together, while the three selected goalkeepers completed a separate program with specific exercises.
The England team's visit to Anoeta takes place within the usual UEFA guidelines. This means that the organization of the match, the access of supporters and the stadium procedures are tightly regulated. In practice, this includes fixed safety protocols, clear instructions regarding tifos and banners, and strict agreements about section division and flow in and around the stadium. This provides a predictable framework for both clubs in which sporting preparation and logistics must go hand in hand.
Bournemouth is counting on solid support from the away team: approximately 2,000 supporters are expected to travel to the Basque Country. The club has coordinated ticket sales and travel advice with local authorities and Real Sociedad, so that fans can enter the stadium on time and follow the match under safe conditions. For the English supporters, as is usual with European posters, there is a clear time window for access and a demarcated section in Anoeta.

On the field, the technical staff mainly used the session to pace the ball circulation and hone automatisms. Rondos and positional play were alternated with short, intensive forms of play in which pressing and transition were central. The goalkeepers were given their workload separately, with a focus on reaction time and set pieces. The majority of the training remained low-risk in terms of risks, as you would expect from a last practice moment before the competition.
Anoeta – now also known as the Reale Arena – is known for its excellent turf and compact, attractive stands. For visiting teams it is a place where precisionon the ball is essential and where the home crowd usually pushes Real Sociedad forward. Bournemouth seems to have prepared for this in their preparation: a lot of attention to ball retention, mutual distances and quickly finding the free man between the lines.
With the last training in hand and the organizational lines set out, Bournemouth is ready for the match in San Sebastián. The combination of tight match preparation, clear UEFA frameworks and audible support from the away section should give the team something to hold on to in a traditionally difficult away match on Spanish soil.
What's happening now
With around 2,000 away fans traveling to San Sebastián, the atmosphere in Anoeta will undoubtedly be intense. Both clubs must adapt to UEFA rules, which affects logistics and pre-match preparation, but can also improve the fan experience.
