Community Focus and Global Reach

Beyond the pitch, Liverpool’s preseason will also have an off-field emphasis, with the club set to engage in several community-led projects and cultural initiatives throughout their time in Asia. Supporter events featuring club legends will also be hosted, offering fans across the continent a chance to connect with the club on a more personal level.
