Plans for Newcastle United's last pre-season games revealed with friendly tournament set for return

Newcastle United are set to finalise their pre-season schedule after their final games were revealed ahead of the Premier League season.

After a post-season tour of Australia, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe's side jetted off on holiday or to the European Championships and Copa America.

All players are due back to the training ground in the next couple of weeks.

The Magpies will travel to Adidas' £850million state-of-the-art World of Sports facility in Herzogenaurach this month before travelling to face Hull City at the MKM Stadium on Saturday, July 27.

Players and staff will then jet off to Japan to take on Urawa Red Diamonds and Yokohama F. Marinos.

Newcastle to take on La Liga side Girona at St James' Park.

Newcastle have their usual pre-season home game to give fans a taste of what Howe has in store for the upcoming season.

This year is no exception with the club set to announce the Sela Weekender which will take place on Friday, August 9 and Saturday, August 10.

A website screenshot has revealed that the Toon will take on La Liga side Girona for the Friday evening game with kick-off at 19:30.

The second edition of the Sela Cup?

Last season, we saw the Sela Cup hosted at St James' Park for the very first time.

The Magpies took on Nice and Europa Conference League runners-up Fiorentina, fans were treated to a nice pre-season trophy that gave the fans something to cheer about following a successful season.

It will most likely be the same format for the upcoming Sela Weekender, with the Magpies defending their title for the first time.

The Saturday game is still yet to be revealed.
