What a nice idea playing Shakhtar Donetsk, with proceeds going to Ukraine's humanitarian support. Let's hope we can get a bumper crowd there. Sounds like some other exciting fixtures.
Dynamo Kyiv would make more sense if it was to support Ukraine. Most of Shakhtar’s actual fans are from Donbas and are pro-Russia. Bit like if Catalonia declared independence and the Spanish government relocated Barça to Madrid lol.
Can anyone remember the dates the squad is in Marbella and is there any dates for friendlies whilst they are there?
Hull City's players may be jetting all over the world for their summer holidays, but back at the MKM Stadium, staff are working hard to put plans in place for their return next month. The Tigers will return to Cottingham on June 20 where they'll spend the first two weeks or so getting used to being back in training ahead of the late July start, before flying out to Marbella on Spain's Costa del Sol for a week-long training camp. City had been looking at the possibility of using either Turkey or Portugal as potential destinations, but have now opted for Marbella which is often used as a pre-season base for numerous European clubs. City themselves are no strangers to the Marbella Football Center, having used it prior to the coronavirus pandemic in the summer of 2019 ahead of what turned out to be an ill-fated Championship campaign which ultimately ended in relegation under Grant McCann. They played friendlies against Leyton Orient and Lincoln Red Imps drawing their first outing 2-2 and beating the Gibraltar-based side 2-1 in their second contest in the Spanish sun. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hull-city-pre-season-trip-7091086
I think we're supposed to be playing Bournemouth and Sevilla while there, not sure if the dates have been sorted. We're also playing Shakhtar Donetsk when we get back, which will be worth going to.
