The Fulham Academy is heading to Portugal on Sunday (16th) to take part in a week-long training camp.

Our Under-21s and Under-18s will get some warm weather training in and play two friendlies, each against local opposition.

"Portugal is a great opportunity for our Professional Development Phase (PDP) teams to prepare for the demanding season ahead of them," Academy Director Sean Cullen told fulhamfc.com.

"The trip gives our players and staff the chance to bond, whilst also working hard on the grass and playing fixtures against top-quality opposition. The players are exposed to different styles of football and will also benefit holistically from experiencing a different culture."

Friendly dates

Wednesday 19th July:

FC Porto B v Fulham U21 (10:30am)

SC Braga U19 v Fulham U18 (5pm)

Saturday 22nd July:

SC Braga B v Fulham U21 (10:30am)
