AGF continues its pre-season schedule on Wednesday with a home friendly against AC Horsens at Fredensvang, building on a weekend trip to Belgium that ended in a 2-1 defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise. The club is using the match as another step toward the season opener on July 21.
Preparation for the Upcoming Season
Players and staff viewed the Belgian test as a valuable workout, highlighting the high tempo, frequent stoppages, and physical duels as useful preparation—especially with European fixtures on the horizon. The team felt it held firm for long stretches and took several lessons from a contest that was level at 1-1 for a significant period.
Attention now turns to domestic opposition. Horsens, a side AGF has not faced in league play for some time, has also produced strong performances in recent friendlies, and the meeting in Aarhus is expected to provide another solid benchmark. The aim is to add more minutes across the squad and refine details ahead of competitive action.
Midfielder Jens Jønsson, recently returned to the club, reports a smooth reintegration. He points to a positive blend of promising young players and experienced figures, and believes the group is progressing well through pre-season. Defender Eric Kahl likewise emphasized the value of challenging tests in accelerating readiness.
Kickoff against AC Horsens is scheduled for Wednesday at 14:00 local time. This match is not just an opportunity to gain momentum; it is also a crucial aspect of the team’s overall strategy as they gear up for the challenges ahead in the season.
