NewsThiago Alcantara to make LFC Legends debut at Anfield in March
The gifted midfielder, who retired from football two years ago, is set to feature for the first time in the charity event, which kicks off at 3pm GMT on Saturday March 28.
Thiago spent four seasons with Liverpool, making 98 appearances and scoring three goals. Known for his flair on the ball and remarkable passing ability, he was a central figure as the Reds won both the Emirates FA Cup and Carabao Cup in 2021-22.
Thiago follows a number of players already announced, including Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, Martin Skrtel, Vladimir Smicer, Natasha Dowie, and goalkeepers Jerzy Dudek, Pepe Reina and Sander Westerveld.
The management team for this year's LFC Foundation charity game has also been confirmed, with Jürgen Klopp, the Foundation's honorary ambassador, returning to the Anfield dugout to assist manager Sir Kenny Dalglish.
They will be joined on the sidelines by LFC official ambassador and the Reds' all-time record goalscorer Ian Rush, and Forever Reds chair John Aldridge.
As always, all of the proceeds from this fixture – supported by AXA and held in association with Forever Reds – will go directly towards the work of LFC Foundation and Forever Reds.
Funds raised will support LFC Foundation's employability programmes, which help people across the community to find work, gain qualifications and develop new skills through mentoring and training.
The game will also contribute to the Foundation's long-term strategy and its ambition to support 500,000 people a season by 2030.
