Aston Villa has officially announced its pre-season plans for 2025, which include a series of fixtures in the United States and Europe. The club will engage in two confirmed matches in the USA, with an additional fixture expected to be added soon. Before heading across the Atlantic, Villa will also participate in two friendlies in Europe.
The club stated: “Unai Emery’s men will take on MLS outfit St Louis City SC at Energizer Park on Wednesday, July 30 (7.30pm KO local time) before facing Nashville SC at Geodis Park on Saturday, August 2 (7pm KO local time).”
“The Stateside trip is expected to have an additional fixture added to the schedule which will take place prior to these two matches.”
“There is a European clash prior to heading to the USA when Villa travel to Germany to take on Hansa Rostock at Ostseestadion on Saturday, July 19 (4pm KO local time) as part of the 3. Liga side’s 60th anniversary celebrations.”
“There is also the annual pre-season opener at Walsall on Wednesday, July 16 (7.30pm KO), while further pre-season fixtures will be added to the schedule in due course.”
Aston Villa’s pre-season schedule promises to be an exciting period for both the team and its supporters. The club will kick off their preparations with a match against Walsall on July 16, followed by a significant fixture against Hansa Rostock in Germany on July 19. This match will be part of the German club’s 60th-anniversary celebrations, adding a festive touch to the encounter.
The USA tour will see Villa face St Louis City SC and Nashville SC, with the potential for another fixture to be announced. This trip follows a successful visit to the USA in 2023, where Villa participated in a tournament featuring Newcastle United, Fulham, and Brentford.
