Johor Darul Ta’zim FC (JDT) will face Spanish club Levante UD in a high-profile preseason friendly during the Southern Tigers’ upcoming training camp in Spain from July 3 to 22, as the Malaysian champions gear up for the 2025/26 season.
The friendly against Levante marks a significant step in JDT’s preseason preparations, offering the Malaysian powerhouse a chance to test themselves against top-tier European competition.
Levante UD, who recently secured promotion by winning the Segunda División in the 2024–25 season, will compete in La Liga next season — making them a formidable opponent for JDT in what is expected to be an intense and valuable international encounter.
This clash will serve as a crucial opportunity for head coach Esteban Solari to assess his squad’s readiness as they aim to defend their domestic crown and make an impact on the continental stage in both the AFC Champions League and ASEAN Club Championship.
JDT has confirmed that additional friendlies in Spain will be announced soon, potentially adding more European flavor to their rigorous preparation schedule.
The Southern Tigers, known for their professional setup and ambitious preseason tours, have consistently pushed boundaries in recent years, and the showdown with Levante is yet another statement of intent.
