Under the guidance of Arne Slot, Liverpool Football Club is set to embark on a significant pre-season tour in Asia this summer, marking their first-ever visit to Japan for such preparations.
The highlight of their time in Japan will be a highly anticipated clash against J1 League side Yokohama F. Marinos.
This encounter is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 30th, at the impressive 72,000-capacity Nissan Stadium in Yokohama.
This fixture promises to be a valuable test for Slot’s squad as they gear up for the upcoming competitive season, providing an opportunity to assess player fitness and tactical approaches against a strong international opponent.
Prior to their journey to Japan, Liverpool will make a stop in Hong Kong, where they are slated to face Italian giants AC Milan in a historic match.
This game will be the inaugural football event held at the newly constructed 50,000-seater Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday, July 26th.
The two storied clubs will compete for The Standard Chartered Trophy, adding an element of prestige to this pre-season encounter.
This match against a formidable European side will offer another crucial benchmark for Liverpool’s preparations and provide fans in Hong Kong with a unique opportunity to witness top-tier football in their new stadium.
Beyond the on-field action, Liverpool’s tour underscores the club’s commitment to engaging with its global fanbase and contributing to local communities.
While in Asia, the club plans to participate in various key community projects and cultural activities, fostering connections beyond the realm of football.
Additionally, supporters can look forward to fan events featuring LFC legends, offering memorable interactions with iconic figures from the club’s rich history.
