NewsLFC and Standard Chartered to auction off signed match-worn Futuremakers shirts
'Futuremakers by Standard Chartered' is the main club partner's global initiative that aims to empower underserved young people around the world and teach them skills to improve their chances of getting a job or starting their own business.
For the past five seasons, LFC has swapped its regular front-of-shirt logo for the Futuremakers design and donated the match-worn shirts for auction to raise awareness and funds for the programme.
Liverpool FC Women will wear the Futuremakers shirts this Sunday when they face Manchester City at Anfield. Tickets are still available and priced at just £10 for adults and £4 for juniors. To purchase your tickets, please go here.
The men, meanwhile, will wear the jerseys on Sunday October 20 when they host Chelsea in L4.
Following each respective match, the shirts will be signed by the players and go up for auction where fans can bid on their chance to win a piece of Reds history. The auctions will feature up to 11 signed match-worn shirts from both the men's and women's teams – plus additional match-issued and bench-worn shirts – and be auctioned off on the fundraising platform Charity Stars.
This year's campaign – titled 'Some swaps mean more' – taps into the player ritual of shirt swapping. To support the campaign, LFC and Standard Chartered have created exclusive videos featuring men's and women's players talking about swapping shirts, what it means to play in the Futuremakers shirt, and more. You can watch both videos below.
The 'Shirt Swap' auction runs from October 13 for the women's shirts and October 20 for the men's shirts – ending on November 11.
The auctions can be found at CharityStars.com/SCFM, with all proceeds going to recipients of 'Futuremakers by Standard Chartered', the bank's global initiative to fight economic inequality.
