Celtic have confirmed they have teamed up with Liverpool to hold a Legends Charity Match next year.

The Liverpool FC Foundation and Celtic Foundation will host the event at Anfield on March 25, 2023.

An announcement on the Celtic website confirmed the event with the LFC Foundation hosting and delivering the match with the Celtic FC Foundation providing the opposition squad.

It went on to confirm that 100 percent of match proceeds will go to good causes with the Celtic FC Foundation, Forever Reds, and a range of LFC Foundation programmes and partner organisations among the beneficiaries. 

To date, the LFC Foundation have raised a total of £5m from the previous six charity matches - with Celtic next to team up to take part in the match.

Tickets for the match are priced at £27 for adults, £7 for juniors and £17 for over 65s.

Liverpool season ticket holders will have exclusive access to tickets first, but an area has been set aside for Celtic fans with tickets to go on sale through Liverpool at 1pm on Thursday, December 15.

LFC Foundation chief executive Matt Parish said: “We are pleased to announce our seventh home Official Legends Charity Match against Celtic Legends next year and we are very much looking forward to welcoming the LFC family to Anfield for a fun-filled afternoon.

“I’m always overwhelmed by the support and generosity we receive that enables us to support more children, young people, and families in underserved communities across the Liverpool City Region and beyond thorough our programmes and our charity partners.

“Both clubs have a shared history and I’ve no doubt that the Legends will put on a fantastic and competitive display of football for all to enjoy. “

Celtic FC Foundation chief executive Tony Hamilton added: “It’s an honour for us to work with Matt and his team at Liverpool FC Foundation on this charity match, as we celebrate a wonderful relationship between the two clubs.

“We are very grateful to be confirmed as one of the beneficiaries of the match proceeds as this will make a huge difference to our work challenging poverty and promoting inclusion.

“And we look forward to bringing together a host of Celtic favourites to take on their Liverpool counterparts on March 25 in what I’m sure will not only be a wonderful spectacle but also a hugely heart-warming occasion filled with special memories.”
