It's a popular destination!...Think they are there a few days after us. We are grouped with Cardiff, Stockport and Bristol Rovers I believe. But, unless the club mention anything we could well be playing Real Madrid on the moon.

Pre-Season: Spain Fixture And Roots Hall Friendlies Confirmed
The official website of Southend United FC
www.southendunited.co.uk
Southend United will play a friendly against Sky Bet EFL League One outfit Cardiff City in Spain, as part of a pre-season training camp.
The Bluebirds will be our first opposition of the 2025/26 season, with the teams meeting at the Pinatar Arena in Murcia on Saturday, July 12 (7pm kick-off local time).
In the coming days there will be specific packages available for supporters to join us in Spain.
We can also confirm the remainder of our pre-season schedule, with two more matches to be played at Roots Hall.
On July 26, we’ll be welcoming Johnnie Jackson’s AFC Wimbledon to SS2. The Wombles beat Walsall 1-0 in the League Two Play-Off Final to earn a spot in the third tier for the first time since 2022.
We then wrap up our preparations with the visit of Charlton Athletic. Led by former Shrimper Nathan Jones, the Addicks also won at Wembley to earn promotion to the Championship for 2025/26.
Ticket details for all our pre-season fixtures – including our meeting with Cardiff in Spain – will be confirmed in due course.

Do you think the club will plan any more games in Spain (Real Murcia and Cartagena are close)? Very lucky as San Pedro del Pinatar is only a 10min drive for me!

You know you’re non-league when suddenly the majority of your friendlies are played at home.
Good tests, but if it apparently costs us so much to get Roots Hall open for these low-crowd games, isn’t it a bit counter-productive. Any ITK know a rough breakeven crowd that we need have to achieve to not lose money?

It’s a very helpful income for one of our local clubs plus I think I saw many other teams of low quality at Roots Hall last season playing us

And not much more for me. Am in Villamartin.
We can't do many of the pre-season matches due to Kev having lots of airport runs in, so, delighted we are available for Wimbledon.
