United's strenuous preparations ahead of the 2024-25 season were in full swing before the Magpies' first-team squad were later involved in a range of team-building events, including swimming, basketball and tennis.

The squad then visited the adidas Archive, viewing a range of football memorabilia, including iconic Newcastle United kits of the past, at the purpose-built 'adidas HomeGround' facility.

Serena Taylor was there to bring newcastleunited.com this gallery.
