Swansea City will test their pre-season form against Serie A side Udinese in Austria on Friday, July 24. The Championship club, who finished 11th last season with 64 points from 46 games, will use this friendly to fine-tune their preparations for the upcoming campaign.
What’s the match schedule?
The game kicks off at 1:00 PM local time at Fussballplatz Mittersill. It’s the second of Swansea’s summer friendlies, following their 2-2 draw against NK Istra. The Swans will also face Shabab Al Ahli Dubai and Mainz before a triangular tournament with Barcelona and Nottingham Forest.
Why this friendly matters for Swansea
With a goal difference of -2 (57 scored, 59 conceded) last season, Swansea will look to improve defensively. Manager Michael Duff will use this match to assess his squad’s fitness and tactical shape ahead of the Championship’s August kickoff. The team’s recent form (WDWLW) suggests they’re building momentum.
How to follow the action
While the full match won’t be broadcast, Swansea’s official channel, SwansTV, will release highlight packages. Udinese may also provide updates on their official channels closer to kickoff. Fans can expect a competitive test as Swansea aim to bridge the 31-point gap to leaders Coventry.
