Manchester United have confirmed that they will play matches in Malaysia and Hong Kong in a first-ever post-season tour for the club.
“Manchester United will visit its huge fanbase in Asia to play fixtures in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong following the conclusion of the 2024/2025 Premier League season in May,” the club announced on Tuesday.
“The two-match visit, presented by Snapdragon and arranged by ProEvents, marks the first post-season tour in the modern era of the club, and a return to Asia following victory over Liverpool in Bangkok in July 2022.
“United will take on ASEAN All Stars in the 84,000-capacity Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on the 28 May, before travelling to play Hong Kong, China in the Hong Kong Stadium, which can hold up to 40,000 fans, on 30 May.
“The club last visited Kuala Lumpur in 2009, and Hong Kong in 2013, but the bond between United and the club’s millions of loyal fans across Asia remains as strong as ever.
“With the men’s team confirmed to take part in the Premier League Summer Series in the US ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign, the fixtures in May provide a unique opportunity for the players and staff to connect directly with fans in Asia, and for the club to activate with its valued commercial partners in the region.”
Manchester United’s final fixture in the 2024/2025 English Premier League campaign is against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on May 25, three days before the tour’s first match.
Omar Berrada, Chief Executive Officer of Manchester United, said: “We appreciate the amazing level of support that Manchester United enjoys around the world and this summer we are delighted to deliver a schedule that provides our fans in Asia, Scandinavia and the United States the opportunity to connect with the club and watch the men’s first team play live in local settings.
“Importantly, Tour fixtures drive significant additional revenue which help make the club stronger, allowing us to keep investing in success on the pitch. They also create unique opportunities for us to collaborate with our valued commercial partners, and to deepen relationships with our fans in regions such as Asia and the US.”
