Premier league giants Liverpool have announced that they will play Bayern Munich and Leicester City as part of the Singapore Festival of Football tour.
This was confirmed by Liverpool’s commercial director on Tuesday morning in a statement released on the Reds website
“We’re tremendously excited to be heading back to Singapore for this summer’s pre-season tour. We were so impressed with the welcome and the facilities – from the training ground to the stadium and the infrastructure last year – that when the chance to return came up we jumped at it.
“Pre-season is hugely important to us for a number of reasons, it’s a chance for fans who may never get the opportunity to come to Anfield to see their idols, and for the team to prepare for the season ahead. In Singapore, almost a fifth of the population identify as Liverpool FC fans, which is amazing, and we can’t wait meet them again.
“Singapore is an easily accessible travel hub for LFC fans across the region to reach. It is also strategically important for a number of our partners, including our principal partner Standard Chartered Bank, who we were delighted to renew our relationship with for a further four years when we visited Singapore last year.”
This is a second year in a row that the Reds are in Singapore for pre-season as they were there last year for the Standard Chartered Singapore Trophy. They beat Crystal Palace courtesy of Mo Salah and Jordan Henderson goals to take the claims.
First up, Liverpool will take on Leicester at the National Stadium on July 30 before playing Bayern Munich at the same venue three days later.
But before those games, the Reds will host an open training session for Supporters at the National Stadium on Saturday July 29.
