Chelsea announced on its official website on Tuesday that they will play a fundraising Legends Match against Liverpool on October 11, 2025.
According to Chelsea's official statement, the Legends Match will take place at Stamford Bridge, the club's home, at 3:00 PM on October 11, 2025. Ticket sales revenue and proceeds will be donated to the Chelsea Foundation and Liverpool Foundation, respectively, to support underprivileged children in the area, providing them with access to better education and healthcare. The foundations will also provide employment opportunities for the unemployed.
Because this year marks Chelsea's 120th anniversary, staging this match at Stamford Bridge is of great significance.
At this time, Liverpool has not yet announced which legendary players will participate in the Legends Match or which manager will be leading the team. If nothing unexpected happens, their legendary captain Steven Gerrard is expected to participate.
Chelsea has confirmed that their legendary captain John Terry will captain the team for the match.
Former Italian manager Roberto Di Matteo will be the manager for the match.
This is the second time Liverpool has played Chelsea in a Legends Match in the same year since March.
When the two teams met at Anfield last time, the defending Premier League champions won 2-0 thanks to a brace from Peter Crouch.
