English
Premier League leaders Chelsea have confirmed that they will visit Singapore
for the first time this summer as part of their pre-season preparations.
The Premier
League leaders will take on Bayern Munich (July 25) and Inter Milan (July 29)
at the 55,000-seater National Stadium in the Lion City as part of the annual
International Champions Cup tournament.
The Blues
will begin their tour of Asia on July 22 in Beijing, where the Bird’s Nest
stadium will play host to a friendly with old rivals Arsenal.
“I am very
happy we have our pre-season tour plans for next season in place,” manager
Antonio Conte told the club website.
“Travelling
to Singapore will give us excellent facilities to play and train, and we will
face strong opposition. This is all good for my team and will help us to
prepare for the next season.
“More
importantly, I know Chelsea has millions of passionate fans in the region. I am
looking forward to meeting them and I think we will play two exciting matches
for them.”
