SUNDERLAND will complete their pre-season programme with a home game against Dutch side Heerenveen on Saturday, July 27 (7pm).

The game at the Stadium of Light is scheduled for the weekend before the start of the new League One season, and will take place on the same day as the popular Sunderland International Airshow.

Heerenveen finished 11th in the Dutch Eredivisie last season, and also reached the quarter-finals of the KNVB Cup, where they lost to eventual winners Ajax.

Tickets for the game will be priced £10 for adults and £5 for concessions, and purchase details will be released in due course.

Sunderland kick off their pre-season campaign with a trip to South Shields on Thursday, July 11, and will also take on Benfica B and Belenenses during a training camp in Portugal.
