For the 2026 season spring camp, KIA's coaching staff and foreign players departed for Amami Oshima, Japan, via Gimpo International Airport on the 22nd.

KIA, which trained in Irvine, California, on the 22nd, chose Amami Oshima, a remote island in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, as its first training site. Shim Jae-hak, KIA Director General, said, "We trained in the United States and did not get the results we wanted," and noted, "Even considering the time difference, we assessed that Japan was better. When we conducted an on-site inspection, it was an environment perfect for focusing solely on training."
