“Newcastle United’s German Pre-Season: Adidas Partnership and Potential Friendlies”
Today, Newcastle United announced their upcoming travel dates to Germany to utilize Adidas’ state-of-the-art headquarters as part of their pre-season preparations. The club has confirmed they will be in Germany from July 15th to July 20th, leveraging their new partnership with Adidas at the World Of Sports facilities.
While speculation suggested the possibility of a friendly match during their stay, Newcastle’s press release did not mention any such fixture. Meanwhile, Leeds United, also in Germany next week, have hinted at a behind-closed-doors friendly without disclosing their opponent.
Leeds’ decision to play behind closed doors is reportedly due to logistical reasons, contrasting with Ipswich Town, who are conducting fully policed friendlies in Germany. Despite the uncertainties, there is speculation that Newcastle and Leeds might arrange a closed-doors match, potentially involving Sandro Tonali, who is seeking additional playing time amid pre-season restrictions.
As both clubs are affiliated with Adidas, there remains a plausible yet unconfirmed possibility of collaboration at the World Of Sports HQ. Further details on Newcastle’s plans, including any potential friendlies, are expected to emerge soon.
