Newcastle United will spend part of their preseason in Germany this summer.
They will compete in the first ever Schalke 04 Cup in Germany this summer as part of their pre-season preparations.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to play in such an excellent tournament as the Schalke 04 Cup.
"We will be facing top-quality opposition and hopefully it will form part of a successful pre-season for us ahead of the 2014/15 season.
"I am very pleased it has been organised and announced early for the sake of our fans.
"This will give them the opportunity to travel in great numbers - as they always do - to enjoy a fabulous city and the football that will accompany it."
