Liverpool have announced that they will face Roma in a pre-season friendly in Boston during a trip to North America this summer. The Reds will play the Italian giants on 25th July at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, who share owners with the Anfield club. The match will form part of the ballpark's 100th anniversary celebrations. Manager Kenny Dalglish said: "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 live this summer." The full schedule for the tour will be announced in due course but Liverpool's main base will be in Boston and they will train at Harvard University.

Experience

Managing director Ian Ayre is also looking forward to the tour, saying "It's been a few years since we last travelled to North America to play, but everyone's very excited about our plans for this summer. "We'll work closely with our main sponsor Standard Chartered and our other partners in the region to put together a fantastic tour schedule, which will hopefully see us engage with as many fans as possible. "Taking on AS Roma at Fenway Park will be a great experience, particularly as the ballpark is currently celebrating its 100th anniversary."
