AC Milan are about to embark on their customary preseason tour. This time it will not take them to the United States and instead to the Asia-Pacific region.
Massimiliano Allegri has had just shy of two weeks with his new squad at Milanello, all with the aim of gearing up for the 2025-26 season in the best way possible. Now things are about to dial up a bit, because on Saturday the team will depart for the far east.
There have been plenty of double sessions in the heat of the Milanese sun to really put the players through their paces. Allegri wants a group that are in top condition physically and now preparations are going to hit another level.
The friendlies
Above all, the highlight of the Asia-Pacific tour will be the three high-profile friendlies that the Rossoneri will play, starting with two prestigious opponents from the Premier League.
➤ 23 July vs. Arsenal FC – Singapore National Stadium (Singapore Festival of Football)
➤ 26 July vs .Liverpool FC – Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong (Hong Kong Football Festival)
➤ 31 July vs. Perth Glory – HBF Park in Perth, Western Australia
it goes without saying that the games will play a crucial role in gaining a bit more fitness for the upcoming season and will perhaps give Allegri some further answers about what he has at his disposal.
Other activities
As part of the tour though, Milan plan to connect with the fan base that they have in the region. From exclusive fan experiences and events to digital storytelling and merchandise pop-ups, the club will turn Singapore, Hong Kong, and Perth into vibrant showcases of the Rossoneri spirit.
Some of the events open to the public have been confirmed on the official website:
Exclusive meet-and-greets with players organised by PUMA:
➤ Weston Corp, 313@Somerset, Singapore on 22 July (pm)
➤ PUMA Store at Kai Tak Mall, Hong Kong on 25 July (pm)
Open training sessions:
➤ 25 July – Hong Kong Stadium, Hong Kong at 7:30pm local time
➤ 30 July – HBF Park, Perth at 6:00pm local time

➤ 23 July – Fan Zone at National Stadium, Singapore at 4:30pm local time
➤ 26 July – Fan Village at Dining Cove, Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong at 4:30pm local time
Additionally, there will be further opportunity for fans to bond with the club, including private meals with legends and behind-the-scenes access, all available for purchase. Experiences can be purchased here for Singapore and here for Hong Kong.
Grassroots events
The tour will also include a series of grassroots events across the region, engaging younger generations through dedicated activities in all three cities.
This commitment was recently exemplified by the opening of an AC Milan Academy in Hong Kong – a symbol of the Club’s ambition to nurture the next generation of footballers while building real community impact.
These initiatives aim to create a healthy sports culture and meaningful growth experiences for young generations, further reinforcing AC Milan’s role as a global social and cultural institution.
Milan have over 300 million supporters across the Asia-Pacific region as per their press release, making the Rossoneri the most followed Italian football club and one of the fastest-growing fanbases in the area.
Therefore, the Tour also serves as a platform to strengthen relationships with key stakeholders, including local institutions and global partners such as Emirates, PUMA, BMW, KONAMI, and Snaifun, while driving commercial growth and reinforcing AC Milan’s brand strength on a global scale.
