In Vals, FC Bologna, which has been holding its training camp in South Tyrol since Monday, played its first friendly match of the season. It was against SSV Brixen. The match ended with a victory for Bologna - but not a clear one. Brixen only lost 0:2 to the Serie A club.

Both of Bologna's goals came in the first half. First it was Naim Byar who scored the 1-0 (34th minute); Giovanni Fabbian made it 2-0 shortly before the half-time whistle (45th minute). All in all, Brixen coach Patrizio Morini can be more than happy with his team.

Until August 3 in South Tyrol

The Bologna players have a tough schedule to look forward to over the next two weeks. On Saturday they will face Serie C club Calidero Terme - also in Vals - and on Wednesday they will face Greek first division club Asteras Tripolis (in Brixen). The training camp in South Tyrol will then conclude on Sunday 3 August with the three-team tournament in the Drusus Stadium in Bozen. Their opponents there are FC Südtirol (who are currently preparing for the new season in Ratschings) and German Bundesliga club VfL Bochum.
