Club announce Nottingham Forest pre-season friendly after Premier League promotion

The first fixture of Nottingham Forest's pre-season schedule appears to have been confirmed.

Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin have released their pre-season programme and it features a proposed friendly meeting with Steve Cooper's men next month - although they say they are "working on" getting it organised.

Kick-off is pencilled in for the third week of July, with Tuesday the 19th and Wednesday the 20th mooted as the two potential dates for the match.

Forest are yet to confirm any details of their pre-season plans after finishing their campaign later than any other Premier League side. Their promotion was only confirmed last Sunday when they defeated Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-off final.

Hertha,, as part of their tour of England, will be the opposition for one of the Reds' warm-up games ahead of their first top flight campaign in 23 years.

The German club will train at St. George’s Park National Football Centre in Burton-upon-Trent across 11 days in July. They will also take on Forest's bitter rivals Derby County on June 16 with a venue still to be decided.

Further details of the game will be confirmed in due course, Hertha added.
