PRESEASONReds add clash with Real Betis to USA pre-season tour
Liverpool FC will kick off its pre-season tour in the USA this summer with a game against La Liga’s Real Betis, at Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, Friday July 26.
The two teams last met in November 2005, when as defending champions LFC made it into the last 16 of the Champions League, following a goalless draw at Anfield.
The Reds will return to the States this summer for the first time since 2019 and have already announced clashes with Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United.
The Arsenal game will follow Real Betis on July 31, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
It will be followed by an encounter with Manchester United at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina on August 3.
A pre-sale code will be made available for the Real Betis game for LFC Official Members, season ticket holders, official LFC supporters’ clubs, hospitality members and international academies. This can be used to purchase tickets from 3pm GMT/10am EST/7am PST on Wednesday April 10.
Tickets will go on general sale to the public from 2pm GMT/9am EST/6am PST on Thursday April 11 via Ticketmaster.
Speaking about the addition of a third game to LFC’s pre-season tour schedule, Ben Latty, the club’s commercial director, said: “Adding Pittsburgh to our pre-season tour schedule is a great way to start our eagerly anticipated return to the USA.
“We were delighted to quickly sell out our fixtures against Arsenal and Manchester United on this tour and are equally excited to be able to offer our supporters in the States another opportunity to see Liverpool FC play. Real Betis will come with a strong squad and it’s going to be a great occasion in another iconic setting, in another fantastic US city.”
