In an electrifying announcement today, Liverpool Football Club confirmed that they will be heading back to Asia this coming July as part of their preparations for the 2025-26 season. This much-anticipated summer tour will kick off with a thrilling match against AC Milan in Hong Kong, China, on July 26. However, the highlight for many fans will undoubtedly be Liverpool's visit to Japan, where more details are expected to be revealed shortly.

Japanese star Wataru Endo, who wears the No. 3 jersey and has quickly become a key player for Liverpool since his transfer from VfB Stuttgart in 2023, expressed his excitement: “I’m really happy about it. I’m so excited to be going to Japan with my teammates, and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Endo noted the passionate following Liverpool has in Japan, saying, "I know there are a lot of Liverpool fans in Japan, as well as Premier League fans, so I believe everyone is really looking forward to it. I hope all the Liverpool fans in Japan fully enjoy the team’s visit.” With Japan being a thriving hub for football enthusiasts, this tour is expected to draw massive crowds and elevate the club's profile in the region.

As the captain of the Japan national team, Endo has deep ties to the country, and he sees parallels between Liverpool and his hometown, Yokohama. "When I go to the waterfront in Liverpool, it reminds me of the port in Yokohama, where I’m from," he shared, hinting at the cultural and emotional connections he feels between his two homes.

When it comes to downtime during the tour, Endo is eager to showcase the best of Japan to his teammates. "Each player has different things they want to do in Japan. Some of them love anime, so I’d like to take them to an anime shop," he said, suggesting a trip into the vibrant pop culture of Japan. He continued, “Others enjoy Japanese food, especially sushi, so I think it would be great to take them to a sushi restaurant.”
