Fulham to face Australian clubs
Fulham have announced plans for pre-season friendlies with A-League duo Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory in July.
Australian champions Melbourne will entertain Fulham at the newly-named Etihad Stadium, formerly the Telstra Dome, on Saturday July 11 before the Cottagers face the Glory four days later.
The Glory will also play newly-promoted Wolves on July 10 at Members Equity Stadium, while Mick McCarthy's men will face Robbie Fowler and new expansion side North Queensland Fury on July 15.
Fulham are set to begin their tour of Australia against another expansion side, Gold Coast United, on July 9 at Skilled Park.
"I am very pleased that we can announce our early pre-season plans and, although this season is yet to end, I am looking forward to our trip to Australia," said Fulham manager Roy Hodgson said.
"We have an opportunity to play three teams of quality who I am sure will want to put on good performances against us, which of course is what one hopes will assist the team in both their personal preparations, but also of course collectively."
