As a few leaks had previously indicated, Liverpool will descend on Japanese soil for the first time in pre-season.
The club has toured in Asia, including Singapore and Hong Kong, but Japan has been left out in the cold, but Japanese sponsorship and Japanese players may have an impact.
On Saturday, 26 July 2025, Liverpool will play AC Milan in Hong Kong ahead of Japan. They are scheduled to play at the Kai Tak Sports Park. Tour details in Japan have yet to be announced and are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
The long-awaited day for the KOP is fast approaching and I hope to get my hands on a ticket and support the event there if at all possible.
It is highly unlikely that I will get to see Trent Alexander-Arnold, but I would like to see Mohamed Salah and Filsil Van Dijk sign new contracts and see them play up close and personal.
Ben Latty, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Liverpool, thanked Standard Chartered and Japan Airlines ahead of this summer’s tour of Asia and said he was looking forward to the tour.
