West Ham United, under their new manager Julen Lopetegui, are gearing up for the upcoming season with a packed pre-season schedule. Here’s a breakdown of their fixtures:
Lopetegui’s primary objective is to guide West Ham back into European competition, so strong pre-season performances will be crucial in setting the tone for the season.
Like many Premier League clubs, West Ham will embark on a pre-season tour in the United States. However, their pre-season kicks off in London.
West Ham’s first pre-season friendly takes place on July 20th against Dagenham & Redbridge at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
The Hammers will then head across the Atlantic for their American tour. They face Wolverhampton Wanderers at the EverBank Stadium in Florida on July 27th.
Another Premier League opponent awaits West Ham on August 3rd as they take on Crystal Palace at the Raymond James Stadium, Florida.
West Ham will conclude their pre-season with a match against La Liga side Celta Vigo on August 10th at their home ground, the London Stadium.
Full Pre-Season Schedule:
July 20: Dagenham & Redbridge vs West Ham (Chigwell Construction Stadium, London)
July 27: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs West Ham (EverBank Stadium, Florida)
August 3: Crystal Palace vs West Ham (Raymond James Stadium, Florida)
August 10: West Ham vs Celta Vigo (London Stadium, London)
What is all this going abroad to play English teams? Kin say they have no money
All the urgency to sign players won’t have worked as it’s unlikely they will have sorted out all needed transfers prior to these fixtures.
Hope it’s not going to be normal last minute rush, rush, panic buys (Ings?).
You know it will . . This is West ham 😂 they lie to us all the time
“packed pre-season schedule“. They have 1 match a week for a month mate. Does anybody do understated anymore?
