SV Werder Bremen will play three test matches during their training camp in Belek, Turkey as Werder manager Klaus Allofs confirmed. The Green-Whites will take on Uzbekistani top flight side Pakhtakor Tashkent at the Emirhan sports complex in Side on Saturday 7 January 2012. A kickoff time has not been announced.
Bremen play two days later again on Monday 9 January 2012 at 3 p.m. against Belgium first division side RSC Anderlecht, also at the Emirhan sports complex in Side. The currently fifth-placed team in the Bundesliga then will take on Dutch first half leaders AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday 11 January 2012 at 3 p.m. at the WOW sports center in Kundu.
The Green-Whites have faced both opponents from the neighbouring countries in recent years in European action. In April 2007, Werder faced AZ Alkmaar in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup and won 4-1 at home in Weser Stadium to reach the semis after a 0-0 draw away. Werder took on RSC Anderlecht in the 1993-94 and 2004-05 Champions League campaigns with Bremen picking up four victories and scoring 14 goals. Bremen however were eliminated from the 1983-84 UEFA Cup despite a 2-1 victory at home following a 1-0 loss in Anderlecht.
Werder have never faced Pakhtakor Tashkent and Bremen will also be playing their first matches in Side despite many years of training camps in Turkey.
