Football around the region is an important source of entertainment, so growing and developing our long-term presence in Asia is a key area in our strategic growth plan.”
Ruben Guillem, Research & Insight Manager at Valencia CF also added, “Insisting about the office in Singapore, we set up because we want to be close to the Asian area. Our main markets we are focus on are, Asia Pacific and China, In fact, China is one of the most important for us.”
This preseason Valencia did a tour in Beijing playing against FC Bayern Munich and also two years ago when they played two matches in Hong Kong against Villarreal and Hong Kong Rangers.
Ruben Guillem also said they were now preparing their next Tour for 2016, and China would be one of their candidates to visit.
