LFC and EFC unite to help those devastated by earthquakes in Turkey and Syria

Both sides will donate signed matchday shirts from the fixture to be auctioned off in support of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal.

Everyone associated with both clubs has been left deeply saddened by the destruction and huge loss of life as a result of these earthquakes.

After Monday night’s game, first-team players from the two sides will sign their match-issued shirts and auction them off with the help of LFC Foundation.

More than 22,000 people have been killed and many more have been left injured and homeless in Turkey and Syria. Thousands of buildings, including hospitals and schools, have collapsed and infrastructure has been badly damaged.

In freezing winter conditions, humanitarian needs are expected to grow in the coming days.

Money raised from the auction will go towards paying for urgent medical care, emergency shelter, food and water, among other things.

Supporters can also donate via the DEC website or text SUPPORT to 70787 to donate £10.

The Premier League has announced that, as a mark of respect, all players and PGMOL officials will wear black armbands during the upcoming round of matches.

The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool FC continue to be with all those affected by Monday’s devastating earthquakes.
