Newcastle United will travel to Australia following the conclusion of the Premier League season in May to take on Tottenham Hotspur and the A-League All Stars in Melbourne.
The Magpies will kick off the city's Global Football Week event at the world-famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) at 7:45pm (all times AEST) on Wednesday, 22nd May, taking on a Spurs side managed by one of the city's favourite sons, Ange Postecoglou.
In an historic double-header at the impressive Marvel Stadium in Melbourne's Docklands on Friday, 24th May, the inaugural A-League All Star Women's team will host Arsenal Women (8:05pm) after Eddie Howe's side face the A-League All Star Men at 5:15pm.
The post-season trip will mark Newcastle United's first visit to Oceania since July 2014, when the Magpies won the Football United Tour in New Zealand with victories over Sydney FC and Wellington Phoenix.
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe said: "This is a great opportunity to showcase Newcastle United at two iconic venues in an iconic city as the club continues to grow globally.
"We are privileged to have so many incredible supporters around the world, and it's a chance to be able to play in front of many in Australia who wouldn't ordinarily get the chance to see the team.
"We look forward to engaging with our supporters in Melbourne and giving them the opportunity to feel closer to the club."
Ticket information will be announced shortly. |
