Tottenham and Arsenal jointly announced on the 31st (Korea time) that the two teams will face off at Kaitak Stadium in Hong Kong on July 31 during the pre-season tour.
Football London, a local media outlet, explained, `Tottenham is expanding its fan base unprecedentedly in Asia thanks to Son Heung-min's star power, but it will be the first time for Arsenal, who recently preferred the U.S. tour, to step on the Asian continent in years.'

Meanwhile, Tottenham Chief Revenue Officer Ryan Norris said "There are very few events in British football bigger than the North London derby. Playing in Hong Kong with this matchup will not only be a huge opportunity for our team's enthusiastic fans across Asia, but it will also provide an opportunity for our team to make ideal preparations ahead of the new season." "In accordance with the pre-season tour tradition, we will engage in more activities than the games themselves," he said. "When visiting Hong Kong, we will participate in charity events, enjoy local culture, provide soccer clinics for youth, and actively communicate with fans and partners."
