Mjällby Friendly Date - Ipswich Town News
Town's pre-season friendly with Swedish club Mjällby AIF will be played on July 18th, kick-off 7pm local time. The Blues' summer trip to Scandinavia has become a tradition and this year follows the same pattern.
Mjällby play at a ground called Strandvallen, which has a capacity of 8,500 and is situated only 100 yards from the sea in the village of Hällevik.
The Blues' tour runs from July 17th and July 23th with the squad based in Trelleborg. There are three games involved, one against a side made up of players from Trelleborgs FF, IFK Trelleborg and BK Ymor in Trelleborg on July 22nd.
The opponents in the other match are as yet unknown, although it looks likely to be a Danish club.
Closer to home, Town will face Framlingham Town in July while a number of other local friendlies are expected.
