Chelsea Football Club, in partnership with The Ascott Limited, delighted fans in Singapore with the first-ever Southeast Asian edition of The Famous CFC. Held on 30 November and 1 December, the weekend brought hundreds of passionate supporters together to celebrate Chelsea’s legacy and passion for football.
Anchored at lyf Funan Singapore, with additional activities at The Robertson House by The Crest Collection and Ascott Orchard Singapore, the event offered fans an unforgettable experience featuring football coaching clinics, a match watch party, and exclusive moments with Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola.

The sessions, reflecting Chelsea’s commitment to community engagement, welcomed participants from SportCares and the Singapore Disability Sports Council. Zola made a special appearance, inspiring young players and engaging with local beneficiaries.
Fans enjoyed intimate meet-and-greet opportunities with Zola at The Robertson House, where they posed with the 2016/17 Premier League trophy. Zola also visited Chandu, the hotel’s speakeasy bar, to craft the Magic Box Dribble, a cocktail inspired by his iconic playing style.
