Rapid Vienna ended their pre-season on Sunday with a 1-1 (0-1) draw against the club of their former players Christopher Trimmel and Leo Querfeld, 1. FC Union Berlin. One day earlier West Ham kicked-off their pre-season with a 3-1 win over Grashopper Club Zürich.

West Ham now heads to the United States for a series of games against Premier League Clubs Manchester Utd, Everton and Bournemouth, before they return to London Stadium for a last pre-season game against Lille. On Saturday, 16 August, the Hammers start into the Premier League with an away game against newly promoted Sunderland, and on Friday, 22 August, 9 p.m., the Irons will entertain FIFA Club World Cup winners Chelsea at London Stadium in their first home game.

Rapid Vienna could already have played eight competitive games until this day:

On Thursday Rapid starts into the Conference League (second qualifying round), followed by the first round of the ÖFB Cup on Sunday, and one week later the Austrian Bundesliga will kick-off, two weeks ahead of the Premier League. If the Greens manage to get into the third qualifying round of the Conference League, these games would be played on Thursday, 7 and 14 August. The opponent will be the winner out of  Dundee United (SCO) vs. FC UNA Strassen (LUX).
