Ahead of their upcoming season, which begins with the Europa Conference League playoff round, AS Monaco have confirmed a five-game pre-season schedule. Under new head coach Filipe Luis, the squad has already begun preparations with 33 players participating in initial training sessions at La Turbie.
The club's pre-season calendar is highlighted by high-profile tests against European opposition. Following an opening match against local side Saint-Priest, the team will face Sporting CP, Cercle Brugge, and Getafe. The preparation phase will culminate in a trip to England from August 9th to 14th, where they are set to take on Liverpool at Anfield.
The team will be based at St George's Park during their UK training camp. Monaco officials are currently working to finalize an opponent for a sixth and final friendly match to conclude their summer preparations before returning to competitive action in late August.
