After a one-year hiatus, the Singapore Festival of Football (SFOF) is set to return this July, featuring English powerhouses Arsenal and Newcastle United, alongside with 19-time Serie A champions AC Milan.
In the press conference held earlier today (11/4) at the Pan Pacific Singapore, the tournament's joint organisers - TEG Sport and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) announced a five-year partnership has been confirmed to see regular top-flight European football fixtures played in Singapore in alternate years (2025, 2027 and 2029).
"We are delighted with the partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board. The nation’s location, efficiency and passion for European football make it a natural spot for teams to conduct their preseason training and connect with their fans in Southeast Asia." said Mr Timothy Ho, Managing Director, TEG Asia.
He added:"The tournament will reunite fans in Singapore with their beloved clubs with the Gunners returning for the first time since 2018 and the Magpies since 1996. AC Milan fans will also get to watch their club play live for the first time in Singapore."
Echoing the similar sentiment in the same media release issued shortly after the said press conference, Ms Melissa Ow, Chief Executive, STB said:"This partnership will bring some of Europe's most prestigious football clubs to Singapore, creating memorable experiences for both local and visiting fans.
"This event adds to our vibrant calendar and also reinforces Singapore's appeal as a must-visit destination. We look forward to welcoming the teams, fans and visitors to experience Singapore's diverse offerings and warm hospitality." added Ms Ow.
The press conference also saw the presence of three former players representing each of the participating sides - namely Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Serginho (AC Milan) and Shay Given (Newcastle United).
First held in 2023, SFOF saw over 130,000 fans turn up at the National Stadium to witness matches involving English sides Liverpool FC, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City FC as well as multi-time Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich over a week.
Fans are encouraged to sign up for the waitlist on Ticketek Singapore by Monday, 21 April 2025 to gain access to exclusive pre-sale and other promotional activities.
