Saints First Pre Season Fixture Announced
Those Saints fans who like to get in a bit of European travel alongside a pre season friendly or two will be pleased to know that for the first time since 2019 they will be able to do just that, read of for the full details.
Saints will be travelling to the land of Ralph Hasenhuttl in July when they take on SK Austria Klagenfurt.
The Austrian Bundesliga side finished sixth this season’s competition and for Saints manager Ralph Hasenhüttl it could be an emotional game , as his son, Patrick, is part of their squad, having joined back in January.
After reporting back to Staplewood in late June, Saints will depart on Wednesday 13th July for the lakeside resort of Velden am Wörthersee, where they will be based until Wednesday 20th July, as they step up preparations for the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
They then travel the 15 or so miles to take on Klagenfurt, at their 32,000-capacity Wörthersee Stadion, on Monday 18th July, with kick-off at 6pm BST/7pm local time.
They have played at the stadium before back in 2013.
Full ticketing information for fans wishing to attend the game, as well as any broadcast details, will be announced on the club's official website in due course, as will details of additional pre-season fixtures this summer.
