Anyone hazard a guess as to when the pre season tour could be announced? Normally around February so I presume it will be around the same time this year. Asia/ America is where I reckon it'll be as it has been for the past couple of years, but a trip to South America would go down well with me. Any information is much appreciated.

South America ain't going to happen.  They have never done it before, and there is no revenue in it for Chelsea, unlike Asia and the U.S. 

Pity. Would be quality for a tour in the summer. Cant see it being anything other than Asia and America.

Chelsea will only ever go where there is a commercial/financial interest in them as a Brand. South America will never happen.

 

somewhere like Qatar is possible but most likely to be the USA or East Asia ie: China/Malaysia/Singapore

Forget going to Qatar. Malaysia and Singapore is the limit for me.

My guess would be America again.

Over 109,000 people attended the United/Madrid friendly last Summer in Michigan. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if Chelsea doesn't spend some time in America.

Hope they come to the greatest sports stadium ever built, Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

Australia and America.

Only once under Ancelotti. Understandably, the club tries to stay on the East Coast when they come over.

Wouldnt say no to Australia but unfortuantely cant see that happening

It's in the works.   

Would guess at the US.

Doubtful for Syria at the moment as well

With the current speed of 5-6 cm per year it will take a few million years until Australia is close enough to Asia for this ;)

Hahaha.

Talks are under way to secure the International Champion Cup, underwritten by government and a major broadcaster here.

reckon it may be there this year?

Yeah I was there. Only about 50k went to the game and a lot came to see club america(mexician team).  I think we've grown a lot in the states since then though. At my local pub up until last year there where only a handful that would show up for matches. last week we had 50 for arsenal

Stay away from Africa please, don't want us being held accountable for bringing ebola into the Premier League.
