Alongside a number of exciting first team friendlies the Oxford United Academy also have a series of games ready for the under 18s to prepare for their new season in the EFL Youth Alliance.
The highlight will be a two week trip to Italy as part of the Erasmus Italy training camp, including three games against Italian opposition.
The tour will see four teams from the EFL visiting Italy on a cultural and footballing exchange trip funded by LFE.
The Youth Alliance league will kick off slightly later than usual as a result.
