Richmond will play Port Adelaide in Alice Springs in the first match of the NAB Challenge Series this week.

The Tigers, who were scheduled to play the Indigenous All Stars on February 4, will take on the Power at 7pm on Friday February 25 at Traeger Park.

The travelling squad will be boosted by the return of several senior players, as preparations continue for the opening home and away game of the season against Carlton on March 24.

The full squad will be available on richmondfc.com.au later this week.
