Los Angeles Galaxy soccer tour to include Jakarta

Indonesia became the latest stop on the Los Angeles Galaxy's Asia Pacific Tour, when the Major League Soccer squad announced they would play a match on November 30 at Jakarta. The Galaxy, featuring English star midfielder David Beckham, hope to capture the MLS playoff crown and bring the 36-year-old playmaker a championship in his last season with the squad in the MLS Cup Final on November 20 in Los Angeles. Ten days later, the Galaxy will face an all-star lineup from the Indonesia Super League at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. The Galaxy will then visit Manila to face the Philippines national team at Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila on December 3 and stop in Australia on December 6 to meet the host Melbourne Victory of the A-League. In their first Asian tour since 2008, the Galaxy will try to improve on a record of 2-3 with four drawn in matches on Asian soil. The Galaxy lost their only prior matches in Australia in 2007 and last year.
