SEPANG, 26 JULY 2012 – The Queens Park Rangers (QPR) 2012 Asia Tour came to an end on Monday, 23 July 2012 after the team beat local favourites Persebaya in Surabaya, Indonesia. Before QPR departed from Surabaya, the team thanked their official partner, AirAsia with a special thank you message at the Juanda International Airport.
The team lined up in front of the newly launched Alan Macdonald tribute aircraft which features the QPR livery holding large placards which spelt ‘THANK YOU AIRASIA’.
The QPR Asia Tour was held in three different cities beginning with Kota Kinabalu followed by Kuala Lumpur where the Rangers respectively beat both Sabah Select and Kelantan FA with a comfortable 5-0 win. Their last game in Surabaya saw QPR beating Persebaya with a 2-1 score.
QPR Team Manager Mark Hughes commented on the tour, “It was the prefect preparation for us. The tour was great and one that we will remember for a very long time to come. From our point of view, it was a fitness preparation and we were able to get a lot of game time into almost all the squad. In the end we were able to win all three games, which were important for us and have helped us prepare for the upcoming Premier League.”
