Liverpool thrilled to receive International Champions Cup invite

Liverpool were absolutely delighted to have received an invite to the 2014 Guinness International Champions Cup.

The Reds are among eight top European clubs who will compete in the pre-season tournament in the USA in July and August this year which prompted plenty of excitement from the Merseyside clubs chief commercial officer Billy Hogan.

"We were last in the USA in 2012 and thoroughly enjoyed our visit," he told the club's official website.

"So we are delighted to be invited to take part in the International Champions Cup and revisit again this year.

"This will be the club's seventh visit to North America, where we know we have a huge fan base, and being part of this tournament will allow us to bring the club closer to those supporters and engage with them once again."

Liverpool will join Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, AS Roma and Olympiakos in the States this summer.
