Boro will be joined by Empoli and Modena to play in the 45-minute-a-match Errea Tornament. Both the Italian sides won promotion to Serie A at the end of last season. The tournament will be hosted by Serie C side Mantova in the North of Italy.

The matches will take place on Saturday 10th August, Boro will play back-to-back games before the other two teams complete the action.

Massimo Maccarone could line up against his old team-mates if his transfer from Empoli is finally brought to a conclusion.
