Lopetegui, his staff and squad have been in the Alpine town since Sunday, building their fitness at altitude in preparation for the start of the 2024/25 Premier League season at home to Aston Villa on Saturday 17 August.
Before then, the Spaniard will give his players important match practice against Ferencváros, who will participate in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round at the end of July.
Monday’s game marks the second time West Ham have appeared at the venue. The first, in July 2010, saw Thomas Hitzlsperger score a free-kick in a 1-0 win over then-Greek champions Panathinaikos. The Irons returned to Kitzbühel for a training camp in the summer of 2018 during the early part of Manuel Pellegrini’s spell as manager.
West Ham will return to London for a week of training at Rush Green, before making the short trip to Chigwell Construction Stadium to face National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday 20 July at 3pm.
The squad will then fly to the United States for the two-match Sunshine State Tour of Florida, where they will take on Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers in Jacksonville on Saturday 27 July and Crystal Palace on Saturday 3 August for the Stateside Cup.
