Exciting Times Ahead For Soccer Fans This July !

Soccer fans at both sides of the causeway are in for a very busy month this July , with the EPL ‘ Big Four ' Clubs look to set foot on our local shores as well as across the causeway . The exciting month of July will begin with Defending Champions Man United coming here on 6 July 2011 as they parade their Title winning throphy to their fans and supporters . Then a week later , it is the turn for EPL fans in Malaysia to get excited as one by one Arsenal , Liverpool and Chelsea ( in that order ) will visit Malaysia to play a Series of Friendly Matches against the Malaysian national soccer team at the Bukit Jalil Stadium .

This will present EPL fans both in Singapore and Malaysia a chance to catch a glimpse of their favourite clubs and players up close in the flesh . Malaysia will first play Hosts to the Gunners on 13 July 2011 , then to Liverpool three days later , with the series of Friendly Matches ending with Chelsea’s visit on 21 July 2011 . During this period of time , Liverpool will make a stopover here in Singapore for a one day training session in front of invited fans on 17 July 2011 .

And if that is still not enough , both sets of fans ( Singapore and Malaysia ) may have to put any friendship aside and be on opposite ends for at least 180 minutes if it is Malaysia that will take on the Singapore Lions in a crucial two Legged Home and Away World Cup Qualifiers on 23 July 2011 and 28 July 2011 .
