The summer break is coming to close and the SCF players are set to return to the training ground next Monday. Friendlies against Grasshoppers and VfL Wolfsburg are also on the calendar.
Streich’s men will return to the training ground on Monday, 10th July, 10:15 CEST for their first session of the pre-season. The players who were away on international duty are expected to take part from the second week onwards. The U21 international players will join the team during the training camp.
The new kit will be worn for the first time on Saturday, 15th July, when SCF are set to take on Grasshopper Club Zurich at the Europa-Park Stadion (16:00 CEST). The match will consist of the orthodox 2x45 minute halves. Although Freiburg won’t have a full squad at their disposal due to the absence of the international players, the match will be a dress rehearsal for the Swiss Super League side, who are set to get their domestic campaign underway on 22nd July. Former SCF player, Amir Abrashi, who now wears the armband for Grasshoppers, will make his return to Freiburg.
The second friendly of the pre-season will take place during the training camp in Austria. From 20th-28th July, Streich’s side will be in Schruns for their traditional week of intensive pre-season training. On Saturday, 22nd July, Freiburg will take on VfL Wolfsburg in Zams, Tyrol (14:00 CEST). The match will consist of 2x60 minute halves.
Both matches will be available to watch for free via a livestream. Further information about the fixtures will follow in due course.
