Motherwell pre-season clash announced for their Austria training camp

Motherwell will take on Austrian Second League club SK Vorwarts Steyr during their pre-season trip to Austria.

The Steelmen will play the game at the BSFZ Obertraun complex in Austria on Friday, July 8, at 4.30pm. It has been used in the past by clubs including AS Roma, Manchester United and Everton.

Motherwell are spending a week in Austria, from July 3 to 10, in preparation for their Conference League qualifier, and the forthcoming Premiership season.

It's the first time the Fir Park club have been able to take part in a summer camp for three years, due to the Covid outbreak, and will be familiar, as the club also used the facilities in 2007 and 2008.

Boss Graham Alexander told the club's website: "Obertraun is a brilliant football camp, and one that I am used to being at.

"I've been lucky to go there on several occasions, both as a player and a manager, and feel it is the perfect base for a team.

"It's remote, there are no distractions, but everything you need to prepare for a full season. The only focus is fitness, football and team spirit."
