NewsLFC and Standard Chartered to auction signed 'Futuremakers' shirts from Man Utd fixture
Liverpool FC's men's team will wear special-edition shirts featuring the 'Futuremakers' logo against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
The Reds have teamed up with principal partner Standard Chartered to raise awareness and funds for its Futuremakers programme, which empowers underserved young people around the world to shape their futures by learning new skills and to improve their chances of getting a job or starting their own businesses.
This season's shirt logo swap for the men's side will take place for the Premier League visit of Manchester United this weekend, with Jürgen Klopp's squad then signing the limited-edition jerseys before they are put up for auction post-match.
Klopp and his backroom staff will also wear Futuremakers pin badges at the game in support of the campaign.
Dubbed the 'Futuremakers x Liverpool FC' collection, the match-worn shirts will be presented as full-sized framed football cards, allowing fans to bid on a unique collector's item and potentially own a piece of LFC history.
Shirts from the LFC Women logo swap, which occurred for their home fixture against Bristol City Women last weekend, are already available to bid on here.
All proceeds from both auctions will go to recipients of 'Futuremakers by Standard Chartered' - the bank's global initiative to fight economic inequality.
The men's shirts from Sunday's fixture will be available to bid on from December 18 at CharityStars.com/SCFM - with the overall auction due to close on December 23.
