AMERICAN DREAM, N.J.,(July 24, 2025) —
Everton hosted supporters from across the world at a special open training session in New York ahead of the Club’s opening fixture in the Premier League Summer Series.
Fans representing official Everton Supporters’ Clubs from North and South America, Europe, and the UK were invited to the exclusive event on Thursday as part of the Club’s pre-season activities in the United States.
Held under the New York sun, the open session gave invited Evertonians a unique opportunity to watch the Men’s squad get put through their paces as preparations continue for the 2025/26 season.
Adding to the excitement, UFC star and Stake, Ambassador Alex Pereira – the former Light Heavyweight champion and one of the top pound-for-pound MMA fighters in the world – was a special guest at the training ground. The Brazilian fans’ favourite watched on as the Blues went through their drills, with players and staff taking time to speak with supporters after the session.

On Thursday, fitness coaches Jordan Smith and Callum Foster led the players through their activation and warm-up drills, and goalkeeper coaches Casper Ankergren and Linus Kandolin worked with their four stoppers, before Potter and coaches Billy Reid, Bruno and Narcís Pèlach took the whole group for the second part of the session on the pitch.
The work was completed by a warm-down session indoors in the gym, where the players rode exercise bikes, before showering and heading back to the team hotel for a lunch and a well-earned rest and recovery.
The Irons landed on America’s east coast on Wednesday afternoon for a 12-day, three-match and three-city trip that will see them compete in the 2025 Premier League Summer Series.
The Summer Series will kick-off at 82,500-capacity MetLife Stadium – the venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final – with a mouthwatering game against Manchester United on Saturday 26 July at 7pm ET (12 midnight in the UK).
