Sunderland AFC is heading to the United States in July 2023 as part of the Club’s preparations for the 2023-24 season.
The Lads will cross the Atlantic this summer and tour the US for the first time since 2015, departing for Austin, Texas on 12 July before returning to Wearside 10 days later.
Tony Mowbray’s side will face San Antonio FC at Toyota Field on 15 July before travelling to Albuquerque, New Mexico and taking on New Mexico United at Isotopes Park on 19 July.
The Black Cats third and final stateside outing is expected to take place on Friday 21 July, with the Club’s final opposition to be confirmed shortly.
A selection of engagement sessions will also take place throughout the tour, allowing fans to watch training sessions and meet members of the first-team squad.
Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “We are really excited to be taking the team back to the US in the summer of 2023. It’s been a complex planning process over the past 12 months, as we wanted to ensure we combined a first-class training programme with an opportunity to engage with our overseas fanbase.We hope the multi-city approach will allow plenty of supporters to engage with the team and by announcing our plans well in advance, we also hope to see some familiar faces make the trip from the UK.”
Further information, including ticketing and supporter travel packages, will be communicated in due course.
We also hope to offer SAFC season card holders the opportunity to purchase tickets for each fixture through an exclusive pre-sale.
