Is the match being played in prison?

Yes, but it’s all a cover for a mass breakout.

It will be surreal to see Harry Kane play for his new club against the one he's just left.

Aston Villa is pleased to announce a showpiece friendly match in Hong Kong against FC Bayern Munich as part of the club’s pre-season preparations.

The inaugural Audi Football Summit fixture will take place on Friday, August 7 2026 at the Kai Tak Stadium, the city’s newest state-of-the-art sporting landmark.

Villa return to Hong Kong for the first time in 15 years, travelling to Asia in 2026 after a succession of pre-season tours in the United States of America as well as Australia.

The two clubs faced each other in last season’s UEFA Champions League, with Jhon Durán’s goal enough to earn Unai Emery’s men a memorable 1-0 victory over the German giants at a pulsating Villa Park.

Full ticketing details will be announced later this month as well as details of local fan activations around the match.

The club would hope to announce further fixtures in the far east in due course, in addition to domestic pre-season friendly matches.
