The Blues previously faced Fortuna in Germany in July 2015, the hosts winning 4-3, then again at the Interwetten Cup, also in Germany, four years later, with Town losing 4-1 in a 45-minute game on that occasion.

Fortuna fans have been a regular sight at January Portman Road games since 2006 with Blues supporters having also made the return trip on a number of occasions.
