Pre-season and mid-season friendlies

Summarize
Perspective

In April 2022, Aston Villa announced they would travel to Australia on a pre-season tour to compete in the Queensland Champions Cup, where they faced Leeds United and Brisbane Roar.[77] They also competed in ICON Festival of Football during the stay in Australia where they would come up against Manchester United.[78] On 24 May 2022, Aston Villa announced two further friendlies away at Rennes and the traditional friendly at Walsall.[79] On 10 June, local non-league club Chasetown announced that they would be having a pre-season friendly against a Villa XI.[80] Later friendlies against Leamington and Hednesford Town were announced for those players that did not make the journey to Australia.[81]

On 11 November 2022, Aston Villa announced a friendly had been organised with Villarreal on 15 December, in order to help both teams to prepare for the resumption of the league after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[82] A "competitive first-team friendly" was also organised between Aston Villa and Cardiff City to help those players who were not going to the World Cup retain their fitness. However, the main purpose of this match was to act as a memorial match for Peter Whittingham, who died in 2020 at the age of 35, and who played for both teams. Proceeds from ticket sales for the match were to be donated to charities chosen by Whittingham's family.[83] On 24 November, Villa announced one more friendly, in the United Arab Emirates, against Chelsea for the Al Wahda FC Challenge Cup.[84] On 1 December, Villa announced a further UAE friendly, this one a behind-closed-doors match against Brighton & Hove Albion.[85]
