Arsenal, Everton, Stoke to contest Asia Trophy
Premier League sides Arsenal, Everton and Stoke City will head to Singapore for the Asia Trophy in July.
The biennial tournament, which started in 2003, is being hosted in Singapore for the first time - with Arsenal and Stoke making their maiden appearances.
A Singapore Select XI will also compete at the National Stadium, with matches to be played on July 15 and 18.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said he was happy to see the event heading to Singapore.
"We are very excited to bring the Barclays Asia Trophy to Singapore for the first time," he said.
"We know Singaporeans love their football and that they are huge fans of the Barclays Premier League.
"Our aim is to put on a tournament worthy of Singapore's 50th birthday celebrations and for that we have three teams who epitomise the best of our league.
"Arsenal have always been one of the most thrilling teams in the Barclays Premier League: they have some wonderful players and I’m sure they'll delight their many fans from across Southeast Asia.
