Over the past couple of years, the LFC Foundation has been collaborating with former Liverpool players and foundations from other clubs to organize exhibition fixtures aimed at raising money.

The funds generated from these events are distributed by the LFC Foundation to support those in need.

From the eight previous Legends matches held at Anfield, the LFC Foundation has raised over £7.5 million, enabling the foundation to expand its reach and increase the number of people it helps.

Last season alone, the LFC Foundation supported 127,000 people through the funds raised from these charity games.

The Foundation has set an ambitious goal of expanding its reach to 500,000 individuals by 2030, and has thus far doubled its fundraising efforts to meet this target.

The proceeds from these matches specifically fund LFC Foundation’s health programmes, which provide both physical and mental health support to people of all ages.

Among the confirmed participants for the upcoming Legends match is legendary goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek, who famously helped Liverpool win the 2005 Champions League.

Dudek will stand in goal when Liverpool Legends face Chelsea Legends.

He also played a pivotal role when Liverpool defeated Chelsea 1-0 at home, securing their place in the 2005 final in Istanbul.

Djimi Traore, another key member of that Champions League-winning team, has also confirmed his participation, alongside Brazilian left-back Fabio Aurelio.

French forward Djibril Cisse, who scored a crucial penalty during the 2005 Champions League final shootout, will join Robbie Keane at Anfield on March 22, 2025.

So far, these five players are the only confirmed participants for the LFC Foundation Legends match.

Over the coming weeks and months, the full squad, as well as the manager and coaching staff, will be announced, as the Liverpool Legends aim to once again overcome the Chelsea Legends team they have triumphed over so many times in the past.
