Newcastle United to play in unique stadium as part of Austria training camp

Newcastle United supporters travelling to Austria next month will be in for a treat as they watch the Magpies take on two German opponents as part of their pre-season preparations.

Eddie Howe's side will face 1860 Munich on July 15th at the SaalfeldenArena Burgerau, before taking on Mainz 05 on July 18th at the Kufstein Arena. But it is the former venue that fans will look forward to visiting as they watch Newcastle and their new summer signings in action.

Plonked in the middle of the picturesque Austrian town of Saalfelden, the 1,500 capacity arena boasts some of the best views in world football. Situated in the Berchtesgaden Alps, the Untersberg mountains can be seen in the background as the football is unfolding on the pitch.
