SV Ried to become a partner club of FC Schalke 04
Austrian second-division side SV Ried will enter into a partnership agreement with FC Schalke 04, becoming the club's third international partner club. The Royal Blues had previously announced a partnership with VVV-Venlo in early June, with Emmanuel Gyamfi and Paul Pöpperl joining the club on loan soon after. A few weeks later, Schalke announced another partnership with FC Aarau, who they will face in a friendly on 12th October.
