Town confirm Austria training camp with friendly against Ukrainian champions

Ipswich Town have confirmed that their training camp in Austria will take place on the week starting Monday, July 15th.

The Blues visited Austria twice last summer, taking on Spartak Trnava and Flyeralarm Admira before in Vienna before winning the Innsbruck Cup against RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen.

This time, they will be based around the Carinthia region of Austria, which is in the south of the country by the Eastern Alps.

Following a week of training, Town will play two friendlies against Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk, each an hour long.

They will take place at the Sport Zentrum Landskron in Villach on Saturday, July 20th, with details to be confirmed soon.

Marino Pusic's side finished last season with 71 points from 30 games, two ahead of runners-up Dynamo Kyiv. They competed in last season's Champions League, although they were knocked out in the grou stages.

The only other pre-season friendly confirmed at this point is a home game against Fortuna Dusseldorf on Saturday, July 27th (3pm).
