According to The Straits Times, supporters started gathering at the hotel at about 10am, at least eight hours before their scheduled arrival.

Hope they enjoy their stay in Singapore
Given the size of Liverpool’s global fanbase, it’s perhaps unsurprising to see such a large turnout at the hotel.
We hope the match on Friday turns out to be a high-scoring and competitive one so fans of both teams will have something to cheer about.
In the meantime, let’s hope the teams enjoy their stay in Singapore as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season.
