Arsenal gears up for Asia tour with new Facebook app

SINGAPORE – English football club Arsenal has launched a Facebook application for Gunners fans in Asia to support its upcoming Asia tour of Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan this July.

Arsenal gears up for Asia tour with new Facebook app

The ‘Prove your Arsenal passion’ app, created by Designercity, a Hong Kong-based digital agency, will appear in Japanese, Vietnamese and Bahasa Indonesian. It features player news bulletins and an updated 'scoreboard'.

Every time fans share, like or comment on a Facebook post through the app, their country will receive points. A fan from the country that engages the most will stand a chance to win a trip for two to see Arsenal play at Emirates Stadium in London.

There are also weekly prizes, including VIP tickets to watch the team play in each of the Asian countries, the chance to attend an event with the first team, and signed Arsenal merchandise.

The matches—against Japan’s Nagoya Grampus (on 22 July) and Urawa Reds (26 July), the Vietnam national side (17 July) and an Indonesia Dream Team (14 July)—will feature Arsenal stars Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski and other famous English Premiership names.
