Tarik Muharemović and Leeds United will complete their preparations for the new season on Saturday when they welcome Bundesliga side FC Augsburg to Elland Road.
The final pre-season friendly will take place on Saturday, August 15, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00pm BST at Elland Road. For supporters in Central Europe, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, the match begins at 4:00pm CEST.
One final test before competitive football
The meeting with Augsburg represents Leeds United's final opportunity to test themselves in match conditions before the competitive part of the 2026/27 campaign begins.
Leeds have faced a varied group of opponents during pre-season, with Augsburg now providing one final Bundesliga test before attention turns completely towards competitive football.
The game will also give the coaching staff another opportunity to assess the squad, combinations across the team and the fitness levels of players who have accumulated valuable minutes throughout the summer.
Another opportunity for Tarik Muharemović
The fixture could provide Tarik Muharemović with another important opportunity to continue building rhythm following his summer arrival in England. His move opened a new chapter in the defender's career, which can be followed in detail on our Tarik Muharemović Leeds United career page.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international has been gaining valuable minutes throughout Leeds' preparations and continues to adapt to his new teammates and the demands of English football.
Muharemović was involved in Wednesday night's high-profile meeting with Manchester United at Croke Park in Dublin. He started the game and completed the first half as Leeds drew 1-1 before Manchester United won the subsequent penalty shootout. You can read our full report on Muharemović's performance against Manchester United.
With competitive football now approaching, another appearance against Augsburg would give the 23-year-old defender an additional chance to strengthen his understanding with the rest of the Leeds back line.
Back at Elland Road
Saturday's fixture also brings Muharemović back to Elland Road, where he has already enjoyed an impressive first appearance in front of the Leeds supporters.
The Bosnian defender produced an assured display when Leeds defeated RB Leipzig 2-0 earlier in pre-season, helping his side keep a clean sheet against Bundesliga opposition. That performance marked an encouraging first home outing, and our report from the victory over RB Leipzig covers his display in detail.
Augsburg will now provide a different challenge and another useful test for the Leeds defence in the final match before the pre-season programme officially comes to an end.
