West Ham will take on Werder Bremen in a two-legged Betway Cup clash as part of the re-season preparations for the 2017/18 Premier League campaign.
The club has announced on the official website: “Slaven Bilic’s men will face the Bundesliga side in back-to-back matches on July 28 and 29, during a 10-day trip that will form the second of two training camps in Europe this summer, with the first taking place in Austria between July 10-21.
The schedule has been planned to ensure that the pre-season build-up is focused entirely on the fitness and conditioning needs of the playing squad, with minimal travelling time and a consistent programme in place ahead of the big Premier League kick-off on the weekend of August 12.
After arriving in northern Germany on July 24, the squad will train for three days before facing Werder at the Osterwald Stadion in Schneverdingen on July 28. The following day, the two clubs will meet again at the Heinz-Dettmer Stadion in Lohne, with the aggregate score from both matches deciding who takes home the Betway Cup, courtesy of West Ham United’s principal partner.”
