Aston Villa can confirm a pre-season fixture against Valencia this summer at Mestalla.
Villa will face the La Liga outfit on Saturday, August 5 (ko 9pm CEST) in the club’s final match before the Premier League campaign gets underway a week later.
Valencia, who finished 16th in Spain’s top flight last season, won the Copa del Rey in 2018/19 and have competed in European competition in 18 of the last 25 seasons, winning the UEFA Cup in 2004 and reaching the Champions League final in both 2000 and 2001.
Villa and Valencia will do battle for the Orange Trophy, Trofeo Naranja, a prestigious annual pre-season competition hosted by the Spanish club since 1959.
Head coach Unai Emery managed Valencia between 2008-2012, registering three successive third-placed finishes in the league and reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The fixture will be streamed live on VillaTV with details to follow in due course, along with full ticketing information including prices and on-sale dates.
