Udinese have four pre-season friendlies lined up during their training camp in Bad Kleinkircheim, offering a range of difficulty levels to help the team work up through the gears ahead of the 2023/24 season.
The first game will see Andrea Sottil's men take on ASK Klagenfurt, who play in the Regionalliga Mitte (Austrian third tier). Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 CEST on Wednesday 19 July at Sportzentrum Fisch in Klagenfurt.
The second friendly will take place the following Saturday afternoon (15:30) in Seeboden against Cypriot side Pafos, who provided the opposition in Lienz last year. For this match, tickets will be available to purchase on the day, priced €10.
Udinese's toughest test will likely be provided by RB Leipzig, who finished third in the Bundesliga last season. That match is scheduled for a 18:00 kick-off on Tuesday 25 July at the Dolomiten Stadion in Lienz
The last friendly is against another German team, Union Berlin, who will also be playing in the Champions League this season after an impressive fourth-place finish last term. This game will kick off at Lienz's Dolomiten Stadion at 15:30 on Saturday 29 July. Last summer Udinese and Union played out a 3-3 draw in Lienz.
