Austria tests against teams from Asia and South America before the Football World Cup. South Korea and Ecuador are the opponents announced by team manager Ralf Rangnick on Monday on ServusTV.

Austria's national football team plans to set up its base camp near Los Angeles during the World Cup group stage. As team manager Ralf Rangnick revealed on Monday evening in the show "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar 7" on ServusTV, they want to reside "not too far from Malibu." The players "also want to be able to experience a bit," joked Rangnick. The official confirmation of the team quarters for the World Cup participants by FIFA will take place on January 16.

Dress Rehearsal in California

Rangnick also revealed the already fixed test opponents before the World Cup. A home game against South Korea is planned at the end of the March training camp. Another home game against Ecuador is on the preparation program at the beginning of June, before the World Cup dress rehearsal takes place in California on June 8 or 9.
