Tickets for Singapore Festival of Football to go on sale on April 25
SINGAPORE – Match tickets for the 2025 Singapore Festival of Football, which are priced from $108, will be available from Ticketek on April 25, organisers announced in a media statement on April 24.
The festival will see European clubs gracing the National Stadium after a two-year hiatus, with Arsenal taking on Italian side AC Milan on July 23, followed by the Gunners' clash against Newcastle United on July 27. Both games kick off at 7.30pm.
Arsenal will also hold an open training session on July 25 at the National Stadium, where their fans get another opportunity to interact with their favourite players. Tickets for this session are priced at $32.
This will be Milan's first visit here, while Arsenal last came in 2018 for the International Champions Cup, where they faced Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid.
The Magpies last played in Singapore in 1996, when they faced an S-League All-Stars team.
This time around, they will be heading here on the back of a memorable season in which they ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought by beating Liverpool to lift the League Cup in March.
The inaugural Singapore Festival of Football in 2023 welcomed over 130,000 fans to the National Stadium where Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and German giants Bayern Munich played three matches over a week.
Earlier in April, promoter TEG Sport and the Singapore Tourism Board announced the return of the festival in a five-year partnership that will see regular top-flight European football fixtures played in Singapore in alternate years (2025, 2027 and 2029).

Spurs captain Son says he is leaving the club, World News
SEOUL - Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min will bring his 10-year spell with the Premier League club to an end this summer, the 33-year-old South Korean said on Saturday (Aug 2). Son, who is under contract until 2026, led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years with their win over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May, having joined the North London club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015. While Son did not disclose his next destination, British media have linked him with a move to Major League Football club Los Angeles FC. "I have decided to leave the team this summer," Son said at a press conference ahead of Spurs' pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in Seoul on Sunday. "I think it was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made in my football career. Playing football and being with one team for 10 years is something I am very proud of, but I think I gave my all to the team every single day. "I did my best on the field and off the field, and by winning the Europa League, I thought I'd done everything I could and achieved." Son has made 454 appearances for Spurs and scored 173 goals. He won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021-22 season. "It was the place where I grew a lot as a football player and a person, so I have a very grateful heart." Manager Thomas Frank said Son was "truly Spurs legend in every aspect". "I like that the club has been open to it because it is never, never easy to find that perfect timing ... I think it is probably the perfect timing going out on a high," he added.
