Liverpool FC have confirmed that they will play three matches during a week-long pre-season tour of America this summer.

The Reds will take on Borussia Dortmund in Indiana, Sevilla in Boston and Sporting Lisbon in New York.

The tour will kick-off at the Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana on Friday, July 19. It will be the first time the historic 77,000-capacity arena has hosted a football match in its 90-year history.

The second match will see Jurgen Klopp's side walk out at Fenway Park in Boston on Sunday, July 21. Liverpool haven't played at the home of the Boston Red Sox, who are also owned by Fenway Sports Group, since 2014.

The tour finale will be at New York's impressive Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, July 24. Liverpool played Manchester City at the same venue five years ago.

Liverpool managing director and chief commercial officer Billy Hogan said: “Pre-season tour is an important time of the year for our first team to prepare for the upcoming season while also providing the opportunity to bring the first team to our fans around the world.

“We’re heading to three incredible locations this year. Each of the stadiums has their own deep-rooted heritage similar to our own and we’ll face three great opposition teams in Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Sporting.

“This trip to the USA will be very special and we’re really looking forward to having as many of our supporters with us along the way.”

The ECHO revealed back in February that Liverpool were going to head for North America rather than Asia this summer.

It represents a break with tradition as the Reds have alternated their pre-season tours between the States and Asia over the past decade.

Last summer Klopp took his squad to North Carolina, New Jersey and Michigan to take part in the International Champions Cup. This time around Liverpool have decided to organise their fixtures independently rather than take part in that competition.

The Reds boast a huge fanbase in the States with more than 101,000 fans watching them face Manchester United in the Michigan Stadium last July. They also played in front of 55,000 in North Carolina and 52,000 in New Jersey.

The quality of the training facilities on offer and securing three fixtures against high-calibre European opposition will gives Klopp exactly what he wants to get Liverpool in the best possible shape for the 2019/20 campaign.
