On June 30, the squad will head to Bad Saarow for a short training camp before returning to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on Saturday June 6 to take on Danish Superliga side Brondby IF.

Fischer and his squad will head to Austria for a second training camp where the promotion-winning side will be put through their paces.

Currently penciled in for the camp are matches against FC Blau-Weiß Linz on Saturday July 13 and on Wednesday July 17 against First Vienna FC.
