Friendlies 2013 - last updated 3 July 2013

This news story will contain all the details for our friendly programme in 2013 and we’ll change the date in the title every time it’s updated, so keep checking back. For info, these are our Friendlies Criteria.

Pre-season often seems a little crowded, because we try to play enough friendly games to ensure all squad members benefit from a complete programme of pre-season matches.

These are now the final confirmed dates for all first team and FCXI friendlies. Match details will be announced for each game when finalised.
