Tickets are now on sale for the First XI's pre-season games in the Far East, finishing with a trip to Russia to take part in the Russian Railway Cup.

The third game of the tour will be against the Malaysia Select XI in the country's capital Kuala Lumpar and will take place on July 29; tickets are now available for the clash through ticketpro.com.

Before that game will be Chelsea's first ever match in China when we travel to play Guangzhou Pharmaceutical in the Olympic Stadium, venue of the 2010 Asian Games, on July 23.

After that is the game in Macau against the other Chinese Super League team, the Chengdu Blades, which will take place on July 26 inside a 14,000 seated stadium.

If you wish to attend either of the games in China then please note all UK visitors will need a visa and China is substantially reducing the number of tourist visas it issues ahead of the Olympics. For further enquiries please call: 00852 2314 2112.

The ticket sale dates for the Russian Railway Cup will be announced at the beginning of next week.
