Zamalek will face Neuchatel Xamax and Steaua Bucharest during their pre-season training camp in Switzerland and Germany. The Cairo side said they would play Switzerland's Neuchatel on July fourth before taking on Romania's Steaua Bucharest 10 days later. They will also face St. Gallen, who finished sixth in the Swiss Super League last season. Zamalek beat then UEFA Cup champions Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine 2-0 during their pre-season training camp in 2009. The White Knights, who finished second behind league champions and arch-rivals Ahli last term, will be looking to win the premier domestic competition for the first time since 2004.
