Liverpool coming to Singapore!
-
LIVERPOOL will tour the Far East this summer as part of their preparations for the 2009/10 season. The Reds have agreed a nine day trip which will include matches in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore. Tour dates will be July 17 to 26, but details of opposition have not yet been finalised. The Reds have a huge fan base in that part of the world. In the summer of 2007 they undertook a highly successful tour to China, which included games against South China and Portsmouth.

fm goal.com:
English giants Liverpool are likely to play in Thailand on July 22, according to Football Association of Thailand boss Worawi Makudi.
The five-time European champions are to tour South-east Asia this summer, a region in which they have many fans, and will also visit Singapore and Hong Kong.
There could be one stumbling block, however, as Thailand want Liverpool to reduce their fee. "We would like them to reduce their fees because our country is hit by the economic crunch," Makudi said, according to the Bangkok Post. "Everything will be finalised by the end of this month."

Want to dig let them dig, but important thing is quality of opposition! Not our national team again, or even S League selection, they are not good enough. I have an idea, that is to get the Australian national team to play against LFC, at least they have some standard. But it may not be easy as agreement must be reached between FAS, Australia and Liv'pool. -
Liverpool Football Club have confirmed they will play two games in South-East Asia this summer as part of their preparations for the 2009-10 season. In a tour promoted by Strategic Sports Investment, part of the Profitable Group, Rafael Benitez's men will face the Thailand national team in Bangkok on July 22 before flying to Singapore to take on the national team on July 26.
It will be the first time the Reds have visited Thailand since 2003, while their last trip to Singapore was in 2001.
Manager Rafael Benitez said: "We have a fantastic group of fans in both Thailand and Singapore and it will be great to take the lads out there again."
Ian Ayre, Liverpool FC Commercial Director, commented: "South East
Asia is clearly a key region for Liverpool FC. As we continue to develop our international plans, being able to allow fans all over the world to see the team live is paramount. We have already had very positive feedback from our supporters clubs in the region and the club will be working closely with them, our sponsors and other local partners to ensure this is an exciting and memorable tour."
Former Liverpool star Steve McMahon, Profitable Group's Commercial
Director, added: "It is fantastic news that we are able to bring one of the best club sides in the world to Thailand and Singapore. It will give a real opportunity for Liverpool fans in the South East Asian region a chance to see their heroes play up close."
The President of the Thai Football Association, Dato Worawi Makudi said: "Liverpool's return to the kingdom is long overdue. When they were here last time everyone concerned with the tour had a great experience and we are looking forward to making sure that this will be an even better event for them this time. It's also a fantastic opportunity for the fans to witness one of the top sides in the Premier League, a league that is unrivaled here in Thailand. The experience that our players will receive from this game will help in the development of Thai football."
The General Secretary of the Football Association of Singapore, Winston Lee commented: "We are very pleased to welcome Liverpool back to Singapore. Many Singapore football fans are also fans of English football and they will look forward to this opportunity to catch one of the top club sides in the world in action against their very own local football stars right here in our country. Inviting teams such as Liverpool as well as Brazil and Australia last year is part of our continued efforts to bring top class football action to our shores. It will not only be a great experience for our fans but our players will get exposure to world-class teams and players."
