    Charlton will host Aberdeen, who finished third in the Scottish Premiership this season, at The Valley in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, July 29th (1pm KO BST)

    The top-three finish for the Scottish side means the former UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup winners will play in Europe next season, either in the UEFA Europe League or the UEFA Conference League depending on results elsewhere.

    Tickets for the game at The Valley will go on sale in June, with Charlton season ticket holders entitled to a discount on match tickets as part of this year's season ticket benefits. 

    Manager Dean Holden said: “Our pre-season preparations have to put us in a position to start the season well. I’m really pleased that our final game of pre-season will be a good test for us at The Valley against an Aberdeen side who will be preparing for a European campaign as well as another challenging domestic season.

    "Whenever I think of Aberdeen, I think of the success Sir Alex Ferguson had there. They are a huge club with a big history, so it will be a special occasion and importantly a good way to get us ready for the season ahead."

    CEO Peter Storrie said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming Aberdeen to The Valley in July. They have had a fantastic season and should prove an excellent challenge for us in our final game before the start of the 2023/24 season.”

    Meanwhile, the club can confirm that the pre-season friendly against Leyton Orient in Spain scheduled for Friday, July 14th, will take place at the Marbella Football Center in the Malaga region.

    Confirmed 2023/24 pre-season friendlies:

    Saturday, July 1st: Welling United v Charlton (3pm KO BST) - Park View Road 

    Saturday, July 8th: Dartford v Charlton (3pm KO BST) - Princes Park 

    Friday, July 14th: Charlton v Leyton Orient (10am KO BST) – Marbella Football Center

    Saturday, July 29th: Charlton v Aberdeen (1pm KO BST) – The Valley

    Had two spells living in Aberdeen, the first time in the 1980s when they will successful under Ferguson. Always had a soft spot for them.

    my Nan was from Aberdeen and they were always my Dad's 'Scottish team'

    but for me it's about as dull a fixture as we could've got, not that I get excited by PSF's anyway 

    I suppose it'll be a half decent test.

    Good test against a similar League One side. Bar Celtic and Rangers it’s League one fare north of the border

    Friendlies against Celtic or Rangers would never happened. Old bill would never allow it ever. We have tried before but would never get the go ahead.

    Brentford (then in League One) had a Celtic friendly in 2013, not sure how they could make it work and we couldn't.

    Not a bad side to be against. finished 3rd in their region. Got European football next season, a play off but still not bad and of course its a big day out in the capital for them.

    Presumably Aberdeen don't charge a friendly appearance fee like an EPL club might.

    Rangers played at Blackpool last pre-season and took 8k fans so how come they were allowed?

    Anyone is ‘allowed’ to play pre season v both old firm teams, but most (especially us) won’t pay the silly appearance fees both clubs charge and also the horrendous policing bill that goes with such a fixture

    Specific reasons why the ***tic friendly that was muted back in the mid 2000’s didn’t happen, police advice.

    Potential for risk would be ridiculous. Very likely would encourage all Millwall and Palace top boys to be active that day. Same reason if Rangers played Palace away. Can guarantee our ‘risk’ would be in attendance
