Official: Real Madrid will play WSG Tirol in pre-season friendly in Austria | OneFootball

Real Madrid will not have a full pre-season heading into the 2025/26 campaign due to their involvement in the FIFA Club World Cup. So, the club will not have an extended pre-season tour like in recent years.

However, the club have announced that they will play a one-off friendly match against WSG Tirol in Austria.

“Real Madrid will play a friendly against WSG Tirol on Tuesday, August 12, at the 17,000-seat Tivoli Stadion in Innsbruck, Austria. Kickoff is at 7:00 PM,” the statement from the club read.

Real Madrid players will be returning to training on August 4, Monday, after their semi-final run at the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Merengues’ first game of the new season will be against Osasuna on August 19, with the club’s request to have it postponed now officially rejected.

As such, the game against Tirol might turn out to be the only pre-season friendly match Real Madrid are likely to play and will hope to make the best of the contest against the Austrian Bundesliga outfit.
