West Brom confirm Portugal pre-season trip - with friendly open to fans

Albion will spend a week in Portugal’s Algarve during pre-season - featuring a friendly open to supporters.

James Morrison’s men are jetting out to the country’s southern region on Saturday, July 11, where they spend seven days on a warm-weather training camp.

The trip will conclude with a friendly against English opposition - League One new boys Bromley.

The clash is open to supporters, who can begin planning their trip to cheer on the Baggies in the continental sunshine.

The friendly takes place at Estadio da Nora in Albufeira on Friday evening (7pm kick-off local time). London outfit Bromley have enjoyed a remarkable rise from non-league in recent years and won League Two by a single point from MK Dons last term.

Ticketing details are still to be finalised and are set to be open at the earliest opportunity.

Estadio da Nora, located in Ferreiras, around six kilometres north of Albufeira, and is the 2,000-capacity home of FC Ferreiras, who play in the lower Portuguese leagues.

The trip and friendly is the final section of Albion’s pre-season under Morrison confirmed.

In total there are four friendlies, three open to fans including Bromley in Portugal, and one behind-closed-doors earlier on July 11 before the squad jet out.

Friendlies begin against Sheffield Wednesday at Burton’s St George’s Park that day, not open to supporters.

The squad then fly for their camp with the Bromley fixture on Friday night, July 17.

The following weekend is a shorter trip to League Two outfit Shrewsbury Town in Shropshire on July 25.

The pre-season calendar is complete on August 1 - the weekend before the start of the season - with a friendly away to League One side Peterborough.
