00:01Chelsea's preparations for the 26-27 season have continued to take shape, with confirmation coming from the club of a
00:10pre-season fixture against Juventus in Hong Kong in Asia.
00:15The club announced that their men's team would now face the Serie A side as part of the Hong Kong
00:23Football Festival in 2026, with the match scheduled for 5 August at Kai Tak Stadium at a 7.30pm local
00:33kick-off.
00:34The latest development followed an earlier announcement from the club that both Chelsea's men's and women's squads would travel to
00:44Sydney in Australia for fixtures in July and August, forming part of a broader international pre-season programme brought in
00:53by the ownership.
00:54The Hong Kong visit marks a return to the region for 15 years after the South West London club's last
01:01appearance there.
01:02Previous meetings between Chelsea and Juventus have produced several notable moments in European competition.
01:11Their most recent encounter in 2021 in the Champions League group stage had ended in a 4-0 victory for
01:21Chelsea.
01:22They'll be hoping to replicate that performance and result.
