Hertha's Winter schedule

The Bundesliga has now been put on hold. The winter break, extended due to the World Cup in Qatar, will run until 20th January, clearly longer than usual. Hertha fans, however, won’t have to worry about missing their boys too much over this ten week period, as they will have an action packed winter schedule to look forward to. After the successful finish to the year against 1. FC Köln on Saturday, the Hertha players who are not away on international duty will take part in a friendly tournament (19-20th November). The other clubs taking part in the tournament will be hosts SK Austria Klagenfurt, TSV 1860 Munich and Austrian second division side Grazer AK. There are also friendlies at Ludwigsfelder FC (26th November, 14:00 CET), in Hanover (2nd December, 15:00 CET) and against Eintracht Braunschweig (7th December, 13:00 CET) After that, our lads will enjoy a well earned Christmas break from 8th December.

Guests at the IMG academy in Florida

The boys will then return on 2nd January for the obligatory performance tests. On 3rd January, captain Marvin Plattenhardt and the team will then jet off to the USA, where they will be guests at the IMG academy in Bradenton, Florida. Sandro Schwarz’s side will be at the academy until 14th January and they will use the facilities to work hard on their preparations for the return of the Bundesliga. Hertha will finally be back in action on 21st January with a trip to VfL Bochum (15:30 CEST).
