Europe’s football giants, Arsenal FC, AC Milan, and Newcastle United, are set to thrill fans at the Singapore Festival of Football (SFOF) this July. The event, returning after a two-year hiatus, will see Arsenal face AC Milan on 23 July and Newcastle United on 27 July at the National Stadium. Both matches kick off at 7.30pm Singapore time.
The festival, presented by Trident, will also feature an Open Training Session by Arsenal on 25 July, offering fans a chance to interact with their favourite players. Tickets for matches start at $108, whilst the training session is priced at $32. Arsenal legends Gilberto Silva and Bacary Sagna, Newcastle’s Shay Given and Shola Ameobi, and AC Milan’s Serginho and Alexandre Pato will engage with fans through various activities, including football clinics and meet-and-greets.
Trident’s CEO, Lim Soon Huat, expressed excitement about the event, stating, “We are thrilled to present the Tridentity Cup at the Singapore Festival of Football, where we proudly serve as the Premier and Digital Technology Partner.”
AC Milan will debut their new Away kit, featuring a devilish design, during the festival. Fans can also purchase exclusive experiences, such as private meals with club legends. Meanwhile, Newcastle will participate in a food drive and host a retail event on 26 July.
The SFOF is part of a five-year partnership between TEG Sport and the Singapore Tourism Board, promising regular European football fixtures in Singapore. This year’s festival marks Arsenal’s return since 2018 and Newcastle’s first visit in nearly 30 years.
