Yatai-Port: Changchun Visit PAT for Friendly

Port take on Chinese League One side Changchun Yatai tomorrow (16 Feb) in a pre-season friendly at the PAT. The match, which we expect to be Port’s last warmup before T1 hostilities begin at Chiang Rai next Sunday, pits Jadet’s boys against a side who were relegated from the CSL last season after a 12-year stay during which they were winners in 2007 and runners-up in 2009. They’ve just lost star player, ex-Watford striker Odion Ighalo, and are currently without a permanent coach, so these are clearly troubled times at Changchun. Let’s hope Port can make them even worse tomorrow and wind up their 2019 season preparations with a win.

The game kicks off at 18:00, admission is free, and beers are allowed inside. See you there!
