Liverpool have been granted permission by the Premier League to wear the Fifa golden badge of Club World Cup winners for one game over the holiday period.

The domestic governing body has accepted an application by the Merseysiders enabling them to celebrate their Club World Cup success with supporters; the home fixture with Wolves on December 29 being the designated date.

That is still dependant on Liverpool receiving the specially-designed kit in time given the speedy turnaround since their victory over Flamengo in Qatar on Saturday.

The Fifa badge is described as a ‘prestigious symbol’ of the achievement of becoming world champions.

Following their win in the Gulf state, Liverpool immediately released a statement explaining that while they would be allowed to wear the gold badge in Champions League matches – it is 78 millimetres by 57 millimetres in size and prominent in the centre of the jersey – a formal application is required to alter the appearance of a shirt worn in the Premier League.

Liverpool have sought that registration and received a positive response for a solitary fixture. Now it is a race against time to have the jerseys prepared for the final Anfield game of 2019. Heading into the festive schedule, Liverpool had not received the badge from Fifa. The governing body want to host a formal presentation ceremony.
