A press release on the Liverpool FC website confirmed that the Merseyside club is returning to Singapore for their 2023 pre-season tour, as part of the Singapore Festival of Football.
Matches to be held on Jul. 30 and Aug. 2 at the National Stadium
Liverpool will first play against English Premier League side Leicester City, who is visiting Singapore for the first time, at the National Stadium on Jul. 30.
The Reds will defend the Standard Chartered Singapore trophy that they won against fellow Premier League team Crystal Palace last year.
Three days later on Aug. 2, they will take on 31-time German Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich at the same venue.
The winner of that match will take home the Singapore Trophy, presented by Audi and Standard Chartered Bank.
The squad's other engagements in Singapore
Fans of Liverpool FC can catch the squad in action during an open training session, which will be held at the National Stadium on Jul. 29.
The club will also participate actively in a number of key local community projects and cultural activities during their Singapore trip.
Liverpool 'excited' to be heading back to Singapore
Ben Latty, Liverpool FC commercial director, explained that the club is "tremendously excited" to return to Singapore after their pre-season tour last July.
On Jul. 15, 2022, more than 50,000 spectators watched the Reds beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at the National Stadium.
"In Singapore, almost a fifth of the population identify as Liverpool FC fans, which is amazing, and we can’t wait to meet them again," Latty added.
