Liverpool have announced they will face Barcelona at Wembley in August as part of the International Champions Cup.

The game was confirmed today and will take place on Saturday August 6th. Kick off is at 5pm.

Gary McAllister commented: “What an incredible game to round off such a high-profile tournament - and all set under the iconic Wembley arch.

“I’m sure this game will be a great spectacle for Reds fans and football fans in general. I can’t wait.”

The Reds are one of 10 teams competing in the International Champions Cup and will play two matches in California in July before heading back to the UK to face Barcelona.

Charlie Stillitano chairman of Relevent Sports said:

“The ability to have these two powerhouse clubs compete is what the ICC is all about and truly an honour. Bringing these clubs and the ICC to Wembley Stadium is an incredible mark of the growth of the tournament in only four years"
