The Clarets spent pre-season at the same location last summer, and this year the six-day trip will culminate in a friendly game against Swiss side FC Stade Nyonnais on Friday, July 15.

This will take place at the club’s 7,200-seater Stade de Colovray in Nyon, on the north western tip of Lake Geneva (kick off 7.30pm local time).

Admission to the game in a seated stand will be 15 Swiss Francs (around £10), 10 Swiss Francs (around £7.10) for over-60s and no charge for U16s.

FC Stade Nyonnais, a semi-professional team, operate in the third tier of Swiss competition, in the same league as last summer’s friendly opponents, Étoile Carouge.

They lost their second tier status in 2012 following a divisional reshuffle that saw a total of six teams relegated in one season.

FC Stade Nyonnais will also host Sunderland and Sporting Lisbon as part of their respective pre-season campaigns.
