A week at the end of which the teammates of Radoslaw Majecki will face Sturm Graz on Saturday 20 (kick-off 6 p.m. at Windischgarsten Stadium).
A friendly match against the Austrian champions
It’s a match which serves as a reunion with the team which was recently crowned Austrian champion at the end of the 2023-2024 season. In fact, the Principality club had already faced it in the group stage of the Europa League in 2021.
