Liverpool Legends to host Ajax in March

Liverpool Legends will host Ajax in the LFC Foundation’s latest charity game.
Sir Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush are set to again take charge of a team of Anfield heroes for the fixture held on Saturday, March 24 next year.

The Reds’ former players have previously hosted seven European opponents including Real Madrid, AC Milan and Manchester United for worthwhile causes.

Last time around the hosts saw off Celtic earlier this year in front of a near 48,000-strong crowd with goals from Steven Gerrard and Mark Gonzalez.

Two previous Legends matches against United and Celtic raised £1.45M which is supporting the LFC Foundation’s work across the Liverpool City Region and beyond.

The Foundation’s charity partners also benefitted from the funds to support their work, including Cash for Kids, IntoUniversity and the club’s official former players association, Forever Reds.

Matt Parish, LFC Foundation’s chief executive, said: “We are delighted to be hosting our eighth legends fixture at Anfield and we look forward to welcoming the LFC family to Anfield for an afternoon to enjoy for all ages.

“The support we receive for our legends matches is always fantastic and the funds raised enable us to support even more children, young people and families in our community and beyond.

“We raised an overwhelming amount through our last two matches and we have already seen the difference that has made and look forward to continuing to change people’s lives and events like this help us to achieve that.”

Tickets for the Legends charity match are priced at £28 for adults, £7 for juniors and £17 for over 65s.

Season ticket holders and official members can buy tickets from 11am on Wednesday, November 15 until 1.30pm on Thursday, November 16.

Tickets will go on general sale from 2pm on Thursday, November 16.
