Premier League teams will jet off to destinations around the world next month for their respective pre-season tours.
The trips, which have been hampered in recent years due to Covid, allow clubs to connect with fans outside of the United Kingdom, grow their global brand and boost their revenue streams. Yet the trips can often be tough, especially for teams with new managers.
All 20 Premier League managers are dreaming of a productive pre-season as they aim to get their players ready for a gruelling campaign. It's perhaps more important than ever this term as the World Cup in Qatar is scheduled for the winter. Some top-flight footballers could play as many as 79 games for club and country during the 2022-23 term.
