Standard Chartered is pleased to welcome Liverpool Football Club
to the United States for their pre-season tour. During this highly
anticipated visit, Standard Chartered will host exclusive client
events and youth soccer clinics with the Reds.
As the official main club sponsor of Liverpool FC, the Bank is
committed to supporting and promoting the spirit of sportsmanship
and community. Since assuming the role of the Club’s main sponsor
in July 2010 – making it one of the longest in the Premier League –
the partnership has gone from strength to strength on and off the
pitch.
Liverpool schedule:
- Liverpool FC vs Real Betis – July 26 – Acrisure Stadium,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 7:30pm ET
- Liverpool FC vs Arsenal – July 31 – Lincoln Financial Field,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 7:30pm ET
- Liverpool FC vs Manchester United – August 3 – Williams-Brice
Stadium, Columbia, South Carolina, 7:45pm ET
Standard Chartered is extending an exclusive invitation to its
valued clients to attend the matches in each city. This unique
opportunity allows clients to enjoy the games from premium seating,
providing an unparalleled view of the action. Additionally, clients
will be treated to special receptions hosted by the Bank at each
location. These receptions will include meet-and-greet
opportunities with Liverpool FC players, exclusive insights from
coaches, and networking with fellow soccer enthusiasts and Bank
executives.
In a dedicated effort to nurture young talent and foster a love
for soccer, Standard Chartered will host two soccer clinics for
children in Philadelphia. The soccer clinics will be run by coaches
from the LFC Foundation, the Club’s official charity, offering
young participants hands-on training and valuable skills
development. The clinics aim to inspire and engage the next
generation of soccer players and provide them with an unforgettable
experience.
“Standard Chartered is excited to welcome Liverpool FC to the US
for their 2024 pre-season tour, and we are proud to partner with
them for this extraordinary experience,” said Steven Cranwell,
Chief Executive Officer of the US and Europe & Americas at
Standard Chartered. “Our clients are at the heart of everything we
do, and we are thrilled to present them with this unique
opportunity. Additionally, supporting youth sports through our
soccer clinics aligns with our commitment to community engagement
and development.”
Over the past decade, Standard Chartered and Liverpool FC have
teamed up to make a positive impact through their partnership. One
initiative, Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, is dedicated to
empowering young people from underprivileged backgrounds to embrace
learning, earning, and growth, and to-date through the Bank’s
annual logo swap match auctions, Liverpool FC fans have helped
raise close to USD 780,000 for Futuremakers recipients. Last year,
the Bank launched the Play On initiative in partnership with
Liverpool FC and the LFC Foundation, aiming to combat the problem
of young girls dropping out of sport by showcasing the benefits
that playing sports on the pitch can make to their lives off the
pitch.
