Here is absolutely everything you need to know about Derby County’s pre-season plans for the summer of 2024.
Derby County are preparing for a return to the Championship, following their recent promotion from League One.
The Rams spent two years in the third tier, with Paul Warne achieving a second-place finish in his first full season in charge.
The Derby manager has little time to revel in that success though, with attention turned firmly towards the upcoming campaign.
With pre-season just around the corner, here’s everything you need to know about the Derby County pre-season 2024 plans.
Where is Derby County’s 2024 pre-season taking place?
Derby County will be heading on a pre-season training camp to Alicante, Spain, on July 14th for one week before returning to England.
The Rams spent last year’s training camp in the same area, which ensured they could be prepared well for a successful campaign.
This time around, they will be facing Stockport County in a friendly match at the Pinatar Arena in nearby Murcia on July 19th, which will be open to fans attending.
When will Derby County’s pre-season begin?
Derby are yet to confirm when players will return to Moor Farm for pre-season training, however, the first friendly match of the summer will be on July 12th against Matlock Town.
The Championship kicks off on August 10th, 2024, giving roughly one month between the first match of pre-season and the opening game of the season.
