Liverpool announced a star-studded friendly today featuring some of the world's best players as part of a tribute match for departing captain Steven Gerrard on 29 March.
Gerrard will skipper one team, with former team-mate Jamie Carragher in charge of the other.
The 34-year-old Gerrard leaves the Reds in the summer to join Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS, ending a 26-year association with his boyhood club.
Liverpool's statement concluded: "Gerrard will leave Liverpool at the end of the season and this special match will give fans the opportunity to see him alongside some of their favourites - all to raise funds for the local community."
