LFC Introduction

Liverpool Football Club was formed in 1892. One of the most recognisable sports teams in the world, LFC has won 6 European Cups, 19 domestic league titles, 8 FA Cups and more than 20 other major domestic and European honours.

Based at our home stadium of Anfield, Liverpool, LFC’s star-studded men’s first team squad is a mix of global superstars and home-grown talent, all of whom proudly represent the values of the Club.

The same can be said of our LFC Women’s first team, with an exciting mix of international and domestic players forming a team that continues to excite and inspire.

We have a formidable record of developing young footballers in our Academy, many of whom have gone on to enjoy long professional football careers at the elite level of the game. Such names include Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
