Liverpool have announced a summer tour to North America where they will take on Italian club AS Roma.

The Reds will meet the Roman outfit at the home of the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park, on July 25 which will tie in with the 100th anniversary celebrations of the famous venue.

Liverpool, whose owner Fenway Sports Group also own the Red Sox, will base themselves at Harvard University for the tour which managing director Ian Ayre feels is a very exciting prospect.

"It's been a few years since we last travelled to North America to play, but everyone's very excited about our plans for this summer," Ayre said.

"We'll work closely with our main sponsor Standard Chartered and our other partners in the region to put together a fantastic tour schedule, which will hopefully see us engage with as many fans as possible.

"Taking on AS Roma at Fenway Park will be a great experience, particularly as the ballpark is currently celebrating its 100th anniversary."
