West Ham set to announce pre-season tour to Australia
West Ham are set to announce that they will spend part of their pre-season in Australia, as per a report from The Adelaide Adviser.
According to the report, the Hammers will play Adelaide United at the Adelaide Oval as well as playing a game against the Perth Glory in Perth.
West Ham spent last pre-season by playing two games in America and three in Austria before the game against Juventus, the curtain-raiser of the London Stadium.
This time, it looks like Slaven Bilic’s side will head down under as they prepare for the 2017/18 campaign, one that will hopefully start a bit better than the 2016/17 season did.
Tours to far, foreign lands are becoming the norm for most Premier League clubs and West Ham are no different.
The commercial offerings, added to giving the chance for foreign supporters to see the side are positives, although travel is hardly ideal, although the players will get the best of the best in terms of transportation.
