Sami Hyypia will return to Anfield this March as he joins the Liverpool FC Legends squad to take on Chelsea FC Legends in this year’s LFC Foundation charity match.
Two decades on from helping the Reds lift the Champions League in 2005, the former defender will pull on the shirt again on Saturday March 22 in support of the club’s official charity.
Hyypia, who made 464 appearances and scored 35 goals during his 10 years at the club, will join Martin Skrtel, Fabio Aurelio, Djimi Traore and Ragnar Klavan as defensive options for the legends team.
Ticket are on sale now and all funds raised from the game will support the work of LFC Foundation, as well as supporting beneficiaries including Forever Reds, Chelsea FC Foundation and Chelsea Players’ Trust.

Eight previous legends matches at Anfield have raised more than £7.5 million and have helped LFC Foundation increase the number of people it supported to 127,000 last season.
Funds from the next legends match will help play a key role in LFC Foundation’s new strategy, which aims to double fundraising efforts to reach the ambition of helping 500,000 people a season by 2030.
Money raised will also specifically support LFC Foundation’s health programmes, which provide physical and mental wellbeing programmes for people of all ages.
