What time does Real Madrid play its preseason match before the league starts

After a long season, Real Madrid has barely had any time to rest or prepare. With LaLiga set to begin for the club on August 19, preseason is about to start. Through X, Real Madrid has announced that its first preseason match will be on August 12 at 7:00 p.m.

Preseason, despite what was initially thought, won't take place in Valdebebas. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Real Madrid will play its first match at Tivoli Stadium, located in the city of Innsbruck. The team whose home is this stadium and therefore will be Real Madrid's opponent is the modest WSG Tirol.

The Austrian club is more than ready for a match that will show the changes Xabi has made. After the Club World Cup, the coach hasn't stopped planning the season. This match will also serve to show the level of the Merengue squad.

The first of the preseason

For years, Real Madrid has held its preseasons in the United States. The large base of Merengue fans made that country the ideal destination for the team before the start of the season. However, after playing the Club World Cup on American soil, Real Madrid has chosen a simpler preseason.

While this one won't be entirely in Valdebebas, it's still an affordable preseason for the club. This is due to the little rest time the whole team has had. To try to have one more week of preparation, Real Madrid presented an initiative.

Its debut in LaLiga against Osasuna was intended to be postponed, even gaining the support of its opponent. However, LaLiga has denied this, so Real Madrid will have to speed up its plans. Despite the modesty of WSG Tirol, the club will seek to start this preseason in a good way.

Preparation for a historic campaign

The good feelings Xabi left during the World Cup caused a lot of excitement among Madridists.  While the start of the season is still somewhat far off, the club can begin to dazzle its fans. With clear objectives, this preseason could be the prelude to a legendary campaign.
