Town will host French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice at Portman Road in their final pre-season friendly ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.

Nice, who finished fifth in the top flight in France last season, thereby qualifying for the Europa League, will be in Suffolk on Saturday 10th August with the game kicking-off at 12.30pm. Both sides’ season proper gets under way the following weekend.

As is the case with the Fortuna Dusseldorf friendly on Saturday 27th July, the game will go to extra-time regardless of the scoreline to give players minutes ahead of the new season.

Meanwhile, Town have confirmed that the first of next Saturday’s two 60-minute friendlies against Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donesk will kick-off at 2pm local time, 1pm BST.

A full list of the Blues’ confirmed pre-season games can be found here.

JewellintheTown added 12:32 - Jul 16 Great to see the standard of teams we're playing in pre-season increase so much. We're not quite at the level of playing big clubs like Leeds and Norwich yet, but these clubs will do for now. ;-)
