Duffen is pleased to be taking Hull City to a worldwide audience

Hull City have been confirmed as one of three Premier League teams who will travel to China to take part in this summer's Asia Trophy in Beijing.

The Tigers will meet Beijing Guoan in the semi-final with the winners then playing either Tottenham or West Ham.

Hull City chairman Paul Duffen told BBC Radio Humberside: "February sees the Chinese year of the Tiger so it's a wonderful fit."

The first game takes place on 29 July with the final two days later.

"To go out there with Tottenham and West Ham and playing at the Workers stadium is understandably a huge moment for the club," Duffen added.

"There will be plenty of opportunities for people to travel and see the games."

Details of the ticket arrangements have yet to be finalised but Hull are looking at taking their fans on a special trip to the tournament.
