Away kit makes first appearance v Hamburg

First of two friendly matches on Saturday

This weekend is our last before we start the 2023/24 season – and we are to contest two friendly matches on Saturday to try to get into full form in time.

We are to start in the morning at 10:30 CET in Anif v Hamburg SV, before we face 1. FC Slovacko at 15:00 in Eugendorf (the preview to this match can be found HERE). The match against the side from North Germany will see our brand-new away kit used for the first time - it is available as of now in the Bullshop.

For Hamburg, the friendly match marks the end of a ten-day training camp in Kitzbühel. The 2 Bundesliga side are to travel to the airport straight after our clash. Next weekend they have one more friendly against Rangers, before they start their season on 28 July against Schalke 04.

Hamburg SV lowdown

HSV played in the top-flight from their foundation in 1919 to the 2017/18 season. They acquired the nickname of Bundesliga Dinosaur shortly after the start of the century but were eventually relegated - and just missed out on promotion back to the top-flight in a play-off last season.
Hamburg boast six German titles, three DFB Cup and two league cup wins - making them one of the most successful clubs in the country. They won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1976/77 as well as lifting the European Cup (nowadays the UEFA Champions League) in 1982/83 before reaching three further European finals.
Last season they attracted over 53,000 spectators on average to their 2 Bundesliga home matches at the Volksparkstadion – only 16 teams in Europe had a better home attendance.
Among Hamburg's top players currently are Robert Glatzel (46 goals and 12 assists in 78 appearances) and Ludovit Reis, while they recently signed club legend Uwe Seeler's grandson recently in Levin Öztunali.
Club legends and other notable former players: Uwe Seeler, Horst Hrubesch, Manfred Kaltz, Felix Magath, Rafael Van der Vaart, Mladen Petric, Piotr Trochowski, Dietmar Beiersdorfer, Dennis Diekmeier, Heiko Westermann, Heung-Min Son Austrians: Norbert Hof, Johann (Buffy) Ettmayer, Markus Schopp, Michael Baur, Richard Kitzbichler, Paul Scharner, Michael Gregoritsch, Lukas Hinterseer, Martin Harnik, Louis Schaub
