Leicester City will return to Southeast Asia this summer for a pre-season tour including matches against Premier League opposition in Thailand and Singapore.
City will take on Tottenham Hotspur in Bangkok’s Rajamangala National Stadium on Sunday 23 July – a return to familiar territory for the Foxes, who have been under Thai ownership since 2010. The Foxes will then head south for a game against Liverpool to contest the Standard Chartered Singapore Trophy at the Singapore National Stadium on Sunday 30 July.
The clash with Liverpool will form part of the 2023 Singapore Festival of Football, which also features Bayern Munich, Spurs and AS Roma.
Leicester City legend Emile Heskey will be in both destinations this week to launch the tour alongside legends from other participating clubs. Ticket information for both matches will be confirmed in due course.
City’s fanbase in Thailand has grown healthily since the Club was acquired by the Srivaddhanaprabha family and their Thai-based company King Power International in 2010. We last played on Thai soil in a pre-season friendly in 2014, beating Everton 1-0 in Bangkok’s Supachalasai Stadium. Two years later, an estimated one million people lined the streets of the Thai capital to see us parade the Premier League trophy following our iconic title win in 2016.
The Foxes also took to Southeast Asia in the summer of 2017, when we participated in the Premier League Asia Trophy in Hong Kong alongside Liverpool, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion.
The Club will release details of further 2023 pre-season fixtures in due course, including games to be played in the UK.
