Hull City have confirmed their programme of pre-season friendlies.
The Tigers tour Slovenia and Turkey for a training camp, before further games in Germany, and at home.
Hull returned for pre-season training on Monday but will step up their preparations when they travel to Maribor seven days later.
Tigers owner/chairman Acun Ilicali also owns Maribor and although his teams will not meet, his fingerprints are all over the schedule, with three games against teams from his native Turkey.
In their nine days in Slovenia, Hull will face Konyaspor at the Aluminij Sports Park in Kidricevo on Saturday 25 July before facing Caykur Rizespor at Maribor’s Ljudski vrt on Tuesday 28 July.
Konyaspor finished ninth in last season's Turkish Super Lig, Rizespor eighth.
Hull played Rizespor in Austria in the build-up to their last Premier League campaign, in 2016-17, Abel Hernandez scoring twice and Robert Snodgrass once in a 3-1 win.

After nine days in Slovenia, Sergej Jakirovic's squad will then spend four in Istanbul, where they will tale on Kasımpasa.
They will host Hull at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium on August 1, with Hull returning the following day.
It will be the third pre-season running the sides have faced one another.

Hull's globetrotting continues with a game away to Eintracht Frankfurt on August 8, before the only home game of their programme, seven days later. The Saturday game kicks off at 3pm.
Frankfurt narrowly missed out on European qualification last season before Adi Hutter returned for a second spell as coach. Nice had to beat Saint-Etienne in relegation play-offs to keep their place in Ligue 1.
The match against Manchester United kicks off at 12.30pm so it can be shown live on Sky Sports, the second match of the new Premier League season.
