Last year, the Parisian team already visited Japan during the summer tour, playing in packed stadiums with fans eager to see Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Lionel Messi, who is not expected to be on this year’s tour.
PSG is well positioned in the Asian country with two official stores, one in Tokyo and the other in Nagoya.
“Japan is a strategic market for Paris Saint-Germain and this tournament will allow the club to strengthen its presence,” explained the team’s general manager for the Asia-Pacific sector, Sébastien Wasels, in a statement.
