Newcastle United have confirmed they will travel to Austria in July as part of their pre-season preparations this summer. The Magpies will face two German opponents as Eddie Howe gets his side ready for the start of the 2022/23 campaign on August 6th.
Newcastle will face 1860 Munich on July 15th at the SaalfeldenArena Burgerau, before facing Mainz 05 on July 18th at the Kufstein Arena. Howe's side will also take on neighbours Gateshead in a behind-closed-doors friendly on July 9th before jetting off for their week-long training camp.
1860 Munich currently play in the third tier of German football and have faced off against Newcastle in the past. The last meeting between the sides came in the Intertoto Cup back in 2001, with Newcastle winning 6-3 on aggregate.
