Arsenal will face Tottenham in a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong, marking the first North London derby held outside the UK, the clubs announced on Monday.
“Playing against Tottenham Hotspur in the magnificent new Kai Tak Stadium will be a great experience for both teams and supporters, and will be a very important part of our pre-season preparations ahead of the new season,” said Arsenal’s managing director Richard Garlick.
Liverpool will also play AC Milan. The match will take place at Hong Kong’s new 50,000-capacity Kai Tak Stadium on July 31.
