CHELSEA FC Chelsea FC will arrive in Singapore as Premier League champions after claiming the 2016/17 crown in decisive fashion. Founded in 1905, the Blues are one of England’s most successful teams and became the first club from London to win the Champions League when they beat Bayern Munich in the 2012 final. The team from Stamford Bridge has also won five Premier League titles (six top-flight titles in total), seven FA Cups, five League Cups, four FA Community Shields, one UEFA Europa League title, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and one UEFA Super Cup in their illustrious history.
FC BAYERN Since the club’s foundation in 1900, FC Bayern has won 27 national championships, 18 domestic cups as well as five UEFA Champions League titles, making it the most successful German team in history. FC Bayern boasts a world class squad (including players like Thomas Mueller, Manuel Neuer, Arjen Robben, Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski) that remains one of seven in history to win a “treble” (domestic league, domestic cup and Champions League). Since 2005, FC Bayern has played every home game in front of a sold-out, 75,000-seater Allianz Arena. With over 652 million followers worldwide, FC Bayern is one of the strongest brands in global sports.
FC INTERNAZIONALE Founded in Milan in 1908, FC Internazionale— commonly referred to as Inter—is one of the world’s most successful football clubs. Three-time winners of the European Cup/Champions League, the Nerazzurri are the only Italian team never to have been relegated from the top flight and are among the few sides in the world to have done the treble (domestic league and cup plus the Champions League). The club is also very active at the youth level and does a lot of charity work. Inter is a global brand with more than 300 million fans around the world.
