The Reds will again fly to Singapore for games against Premier League Leicester on July 30 and German giants Bayern Munich on August 2. The news comes despite manager Jurgen Klopp’s reservations about last campaign’s trip to Asia.
‘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 fans, which is amazing, and we can’t wait to meet them again.
Liverpool commercial director Ben Latty said: ‘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.
‘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.’
‘Football has a unique ability to bring together people from all walks of life and Standard Chartered is excited to be able to play a leading role in delivering a memorable experience to fans in Singapore, both on and off the pitch, at this inaugural football extravaganza.’
Standard Chartered Cluster CEO Patrick Lee added: ‘We are delighted to welcome Liverpool to Singapore again, and look forward to the top-level entertainment the team will bring to our clients, colleagues and the communities here, along with the other leading European clubs.
