Man City Head To Seefeld

After the Dutch Soccer U21 National Team and the Austrian National Team trained in Seefeld over the past week, the Olympiaregion Seefeld will host for the first time England's Premier League Champions Manchester City for a training camp.
The camp will be held from 8th to 20th July with the team accommodated in the five star Hotel Klosterbräu in Seefeld.
Three test matches will be played at the Tivoli soccer stadium in nearby Innsbruck.
Man City are the latest club to visit the Olympiaregion Seefeld in 20 years of hosting top teams from the international soccer scene.
Other ski resorts also offer summer training facilities for major football teams in the Alps, often prior to major championships. The Japanese team was based in Saas Fee for altitude training prior to the last World Cup while the French national squad is regularly in Tignes.
In July last year Germany's Hamburg football team decided on a fairly unusual place to train when they opted for a sessions on a special pitch built at 3,250m on the side of a cliff by the Tux summer ski slopes in Austria's Ziller Valley.
