General manager Klaus Allofs confirmed that on Monday, 28.07.2008 at 8pm, the Green-Whites will play a friendly against relegated Swiss first division side FC St. Gallen.

 

The game will be played at the newly built AFG Arena in St.Gallen, which will see its first action on 05.07.2008 with a massive opening event. The stadium is one of the most modern arenas in Switzerland and, among other things, it houses a shopping centre.

 

The game will be a real test of the Swiss sides strength, considering the season will begin for St. Gallen around the same time as the friendly match. The match plan for the season has been specially adapted for St. Gallen to allow them the opportunity to play the game against Werder Bremen.
