Days after announcing their first schedule game in the United States, Liverpool FC now knows the next date of their North American summer tour.
Fenway Sports Management revealed that LFC will take on Tottenham Hotspur at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on July 28. This comes after FSM announced that LFC will take on AS Roma at Fenway Park on July 25.
LFC will face their second opponent on the same field that the NFL's Baltimore Ravens call home. With over 71,000 seats, the two Premier League franchises will get a lot of exposure.
"The M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore is an amazing stadium and holds 71,000 fans," said Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre. "The prospect of playing a big game between two great Premier League clubs on American soil is one that I'm sure will excite lots of our fans because nothing beats watching the team live."
"We’re really looking forward to the tour and playing against some quality opposition. We had a great time playing in front of our supporters in Asia last year and it will be good to give our fans in North America the chance to watch us this summer," LFC manager Kenny Dalgish said.
"I’m told football is the fastest-growing sport in America so hopefully we can put on two good performances for the fans who turn up to watch us play. Games against Tottenham Hotspur are always entertaining, so it should be fantastic."
Tickets for the game in Baltimore go on sale April 3 and can be purchased through the Baltimore Ravens and Ticketmaster websites. Tickets for the game at Fenway Park go on sale April 28.
