Portugal and Nottingham Forest scheduling pre-season friendly matches
In the upcoming months, Portuguese football club Estoril Praia will be participating in a series of pre-season friendlies, with two matches scheduled against teams from the English Premier League.
The team, coached by Ian Cathro, will kick off their pre-season schedule with a challenge against Estoril's U-23 team today in Tróia. The exact time for this match has yet to be announced.
On July 26, 2025, Estoril Praia will face Fulham at Estadio de Sao Luis. Fulham, a Premier League club, will provide a tough test for the Portuguese team. The match is set to begin at 8:00 PM.
Exactly a week later, on July 30, 2025, Estoril Praia will host Nottingham Forest at Estadio Municipal de Albufeira. Nottingham Forest, also a Premier League club, will present another challenging encounter for the Portuguese team. The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM.
These two matches mark a significant portion of Estoril Praia's pre-season schedule, as no official matches against clubs from Liga I (Romania) or Liga II (Romania) were found in the search results. The team's known confirmed opponents are exclusively from the Premier League.
There is also a mention of a fixture with Millwall, who play in the Championship, the English second tier, on August 2nd, but further details are incomplete in the results.
Estoril Praia finished the last season in eighth place with 46 points. As they prepare for the fifth consecutive season in Liga I, they will face their official debut opponent, Estrela da Amadora, in a match whose exact time has yet to be announced.
Meanwhile, Marítimo, who returned to Amoreira on July 16th, have their own schedule lined up. They will face Mafra and Atlético in Liga 3 on the 23rd, followed by a match against Alverca, promoted to the first division this season, three days later. The exact times for these matches are yet to be announced.
