For almost a quarter of a century Indonesian football fan Bagas Wira Paksi has watched the fortunes of his favourite club wax and wane from thousands of kilometres away.

But this weekend, he hopes to finally cheer on his team in person when Leicester City play Liverpool in Singapore.

"I've supported Leicester from 1999 during the Martin O'Neill era," Mr Bagas tells the BBC.

"When we won [the Premier League] in 2016 there was quite a big, growing fanbase. So many started to support them but right now it's not so big," he adds.
