Health and safety

As COVID-19 restrictions come to an end, it is vital supporters continue to do all they can to minimise the risk of passing on COVID-19. Here are some simple ways that you can help keep each other safe on a matchday:

• Be responsible and do not travel if you have COVID-19 symptoms
• Wear face coverings in indoor and crowded areas, including concourses
• Continue to regularly wash your hands
• If possible, take a COVID-19 test on a matchday to check there is no risk of passing on the virus
• The best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 is to get vaccinated

Liverpool FC continue to urge fans to follow public health guidance to keep each other safe on a matchday, including wearing face coverings when on concourses, indoors and in crowded areas.

Thank you for all your support in following these measures and helping keep your fellow fans safe.

How do I use my NFC pass?

Anfield now operates digital entry using NFC tickets. Please make sure you have downloaded your NFC pass to your smartphone for the match before setting off from home. View a how-to guide on using the NFC pass here.

There is additional support on the day to help you use your NFC pass. The ticket office will be open on matchdays for enquiries and look out for the Fan Support team located around the ground ahead of kick-off. There will also be a number of NFC help desks around the stadium ahead of kick-off to give quick and easy support with any NFC pass issues.

Please be advised that anyone under the age of 16 years old attending Anfield must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18.

Can I bring a bag to the stadium?

We operate a no-bag policy at the stadium and there is no bag storage facility. The only exceptions are:

• Small A5 bag carrying hygiene products
• Small A5 bag carrying medicines
• Club shop bags carrying purchases from the LFC retail store

Those bags permitted will be subjected to a bag search on entry point.

Please report anything suspicious while in and around Anfield to your nearest steward or police officer.

What time should supporters arrive?

Supporters are encouraged to arrive at least 90 minutes before kick-off to avoid queues and allow for security checks and search procedures. Queues may be likely the closer to kick-off you arrive. Turnstiles for general admission will open two hours prior to kick-off and three hours before for hospitality ticket holders.

How do I access the Anfield Road Stand?

Anfield Road is no longer a through road – please check your ticket and your route for access point. This may change from match to match. For Liverpool FC Legends v Barça Legends on Saturday March 26 (kick-off at 3pm GMT):

• Fans entering via turnstiles L and M will approach Anfield Road from the direction of Arkles Lane as there is no access from the direction of 97 Avenue. At the end of the game when leaving the stadium, they will turn right.
• Fans entering via Turnstiles N, O, P and Q will approach Anfield Road from the direction of 97 Avenue as there is no access from the direction of Arkles Lane. At the end of the game when leaving the stadium, they will turn left.

Our stewards will be on hand to direct fans to the appropriate route.

What’s the best way to get to Anfield?

Anfield is located in a residential area – there is a residents parking scheme in operation. Please do not park on residential streets as parking enforcement will be in operation during matchdays – any illegally parked cars will incur a fine. Fans are also reminded Anfield is home to many people, so we ask that you respect residents by leaving quietly and taking any litter home with you.

Will there be food and drink on offer?

Food and drink will be served in the stadium. However, there will be no food containers outside.

LFC Foundation

The legends game is a marquee moment in the LFC Foundation calendar, with proceeds from the match going to the charity, which aims to create life-changing opportunities for young people and families, and a proportion will be donated to Barcelona’s official charity, the Barça Foundation.

Money raised from legends games helps to fund a variety of projects for LFC Foundation and its charity partners, including its employability and training programmes, health and wellbeing programmes, with a focus on mental health, and its international sport and play partnership, Side by Side. These are particularly vital projects, which play a huge part in LFC Foundation’s COVID-19 recovery support.

This year, funds will also go towards supporting Forever Reds, the club’s official former players association, which provides support to the club’s former players in need of care, particularly during the later stages of their lives. The Owen McVeigh Foundation, which provides life-changing memories for children and their families in Merseyside fighting cancer, will also be supported by monies raised from the game.

• You can support the LFC Foundation by visiting www.justgiving.com/lfcf and help them to continue to create life-changing opportunities for young people and families.
• Take on our Challenge Reds call and complete fundraising challenges to support LFC Foundation.
• The players will be donating their signed, match-worn shirts after the game that can be bid on here.
• LFC Foundation partnered with Side by Side to use the power of sport to transform the lives of vulnerable children and young people; we are raising £150k to expand our programmes into more high-need communities. You can donate here.
