Hong Kong Football Festival: AC Milan take centre stage ahead of big game against Liverpool

After more than 27,000 fans turned out to watch Liverpool and new signing Hugo Ekitike train at Kai Tak Stadium on Thursday, it’s the turn of AC Milan on Friday.

And while the Italian giants have the dubious honour of entertaining their fans at Hong Kong Stadium, they are going to be pretty busy at Kai Tak too.

A kit unveiling at the Puma store in the nearby shopping centre, and an academy training session with some local youngsters all come before they head to Causeway Bay.

And all that comes after a trio of the club’s living legends went for an early morning jog around the city. Hands up if you spotted Zlatan Ibrahimovic taking a leisurely stroll before breakfast.

Not that Liverpool have been resting on their laurels, the club’s merchandise has been flying off the shelves at a new store at Kai Tak Sports Park. There’s plenty to come over the next several hours, so stick with us as we follow the events of the second big day of the Hong Kong Football Festival.
