Shamrock Rovers will play Liverpool at Lansdowne Road on Wednesday May 14 (5.30), it was officially confirmed today.
Rovers have been allocated the South Stand and will have 7,000 tickets together. Club members and season ticket holders have access to a pre-sale period should they appl by March 31.
Liverpool FC Chief Commercial Officer, Billy Hogan said: “We are looking forward to coming back to Dublin again this year to play in front of our Irish fans. The Club enjoys incredible support in Ireland. Our opponent, Shamrock Rovers, hold a special place for us as we bought Jim Beglin from them in 1983, who became Bob Paisley’s last-ever signing”.
The most recent meeting between the sides took place at a packed Milltown in November 1982. That game ended 1-1 - Ian Rush opened the scoring, before Liam Buckley netted a late equaliser for the Hoops. Rovers put up a picture of the match programme on their Facebook page today.
The game will have a 5.30pm kick-off on Wednesday, May 14 at the Aviva Stadium. Tickets are priced €30 for adults and €15 for children (there are a limited number of children’s tickets available).
