Sunderland AFC will travel to Spain this summer as part of their preparations for the 2024-25 season.
The Lads will depart for Costa Blanca on Monday 15 July and spend one week in Alicante, which is located in the Valencian Community on the Mediterranean coast.
SAFC will face two fixtures overseas and these are currently scheduled to take place on Saturday 20 July and Sunday 21 July, although fans are advised that these dates are subject to change.
Further details, including the Club's opposition and the corresponding fixture dates, will be confirmed shortly.
The Lads last travelled to Spain in 2002 under the management of Peter Reid, facing Sevilla and Algeciras CF.
Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: "Following last summer's tour of North America, we are looking forward to taking the team back to mainland Europe this July. The facilities in place for this trip are exceptional and this will not only provide a great experience for our players, but also act as an excellent platform for the team ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. We hope this will be an accessible trip for many of our fans and that they can attend to support the team, whilst also enjoying the region. In addition, we also plan to host a range of activities during pre-season – locally and overseas – to bring our fans closer to our team.”
