Sunderland then travel to Nottingham for a game with Forest which will be Roy Keane's return to the City Ground where he made over 100 appearances for Notts Forest. The game will be on Wednesday July 30th at 7:45pm.

Then onto a rare home friendly against Ajax in early August, the game is to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Sunderland winning the FA Cup.

The team will go back on tour in Ireland for the second year running this time playing 2 games. The first will be at Athlone Town at their brand-new 6,000 all seated stadium on August 7th at 7:30pm.
