The Festival of Football is set for July 25th
As teams across Europe gear up for the upcoming 2023/24 season, several high-profile pre-season matches and tournaments are taking place to prepare for the campaign. Manchester United kicked off their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 victory over Leeds United, while Arsenal settled for a 1-1 draw against Nurnberg in Germany. Notably, Mason Mount made his debut for Chelsea, and Kai Havertz featured for Arsenal as they familiarize themselves with their new squads.
In Singapore, Liverpool and Tottenham will be joined by Bayern Munich, the reigning Bundesliga champions, for the Festival of Football in Kallang. Leicester City, recently relegated from the Premier League, will also participate in the preseason tournament as part of their broader tour of South East Asia, which includes stops in Thailand and Japan. Unfortunately, Roma withdrew from the competition and was replaced by Lion City Sailors.
