CITY’s BASE TEMPORARILY MOVES FROM THE VALE OF GLAM TO THE VALE DO LOBO

For those of you who like being Bluebirds groupies or hanger-on’ers (and just setting off fire alarms!!), Cardiff City will be basing themselves at Vale de Lobo and setting up training camp there during July 20 – 25.

Longh gone are those days of running up and down Barry Island beach, taking assault courses at St Athan, those tortured dunes at St Athan or jogging around Jubile Park, the modern day City player heads for 5 star luxury – albeit with serious training and competitive football – overseas.

Cardiff will be based there from July 20 – 25 during which time they will be playing a ‘behind closed doors’ friendly versus Vitoria de Setubal and more high profile games in the Algarve Cup against hosts Vitoria de Guimares and Scottish giants, Celtic on the 22nd and 24th respectively. As City move into their luxury villas, the players and management of Real Madrid will be the occupants moving out. Nice!
