Ipswich Town have announced their pre-season schedule, headlined by the visit of Europa League semi-finalists West Ham United.
The Hammers, who reached the last four of the famous competition before being knocked out by Eintracht Frankfurt, will visit Portman Road on Tuesday, July 12.
West Ham last visited Portman Road for a friendly in August of 2020, with the Premier League side winning 4-1 in a behind-closed-doors game. The Hammers' Under 21s beat the Ipswich first-team in the EFL Trophy last season.
