Singapore lights up Milan’s 2025 Tour: showdown with Arsenal

11 April 2025 | Alice Corbari | Industry News

AC Milan confirms its global expansion strategy by announcing Singapore as the opening stop of the 2025 Pre-Season Tour. As part of the Singapore Festival of Football, the event strengthens the Milan brand’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region, creating new opportunities for licensing and commercial development in this strategic market.

AC Milan is pleased to announce that Singapore will be one of the key destinations on the Club’s 2025 Pre-Season Tour. The Men’s First Team will take part in a series of high-profile matches across the Asia-Pacific region. In Singapore, the Rossoneri will face Arsenal at the iconic National Stadium on Wednesday, July 23, in what will be the first official match ever played by the Club on Singaporean soil.

Singapore marks the first stop of AC Milan’s summer tour, which will continue on July 26 in Hong Kong, where the team will meet Liverpool. The third and final stop of the tour will be announced in the coming weeks.

The match against Arsenal is part of the Singapore Festival of Football, a prestigious international event featuring AC Milan, Arsenal, and Newcastle United. The Festival was officially presented today in Singapore during a media launch, attended by local authorities, VIPs, and three Club legends – including Serginho, representing the Rossoneri.

Although this will be the first official visit by the Men’s First Team to Singapore, the Club already has strong ties to fans in the region. In 2022, AC Milan held a fan-focused tour in Singapore, with the participation of legend and Brand Ambassador Daniele Massaro, in collaboration with global partners Emirates and PUMA. That tour also extended to Indonesia, highlighting the Club’s growing commitment to its passionate Southeast Asian fanbase.

The return to Singapore with the First Team marks a historic milestone for AC Milan and reinforces the Club’s global brand strategy and visibility in a key strategic market.

More details about the 2025 Pre-Season Tour – including ticketing information and the announcement of the third match – will be shared in the coming weeks.
