Liverpool have opened an international academy in Mauritius.

It is the Reds' second international academy in Africa, following on from one opened in Egypt.

"There is a hugely passionate fan base in Mauritius and we are confident that this project will be a positive development for football in Mauritius.

"We look forward to working with our partners here to make sure it is a success. We want to bring authentic LFC coaching to young fans around the world."
